Yeah, nobody beats Jukka for thoroughness and arcane knowledge. I take it you've seen some of the other articles that have touched on this and related (HTML special characters) issues? - aardvark's Simple Character Entity Chart - Peter Sheerin's Trouble With Em 'n' En (He really should've included a link to the link you posted, especially this page) - My own Entity Support Table - And assorted other stuff I did to help better quotes and dashes find their way to web pages.

Sorry, didn't realise you don't allow HTML. Will MT hyperlink them if I just paste in the URLs above? Let's see: http://www.evolt.org/article/A_Simple_Character_En tity_Chart/17/21234/index.html http://www.petesguide.com/perspective/001-EmAndEn. html http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/windows-chars.h tml http://www.fjordaan.uklinux.net/entities/entities_ support.html http://www.evolt.org/article/A_Simple_Character_En tity_Chart/17/21234/index.html#comment31657

Nope, no URL support yet (this isn't MT, it's my own home grown system so there are still a load of features to iron out). I'll try and put in a URL-to-link convertor some time today though. Thanks for the comment s:)
