Thanks, Susan, for pointing to that stuff. Paul, you if you're using Apache you may also find this particularly useful: "Setting 'charset' information in .htaccess" http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-htaccess-charset
That would allow you to continue using utf-8, which I think is a good move. Also, you may find the following useful wrt using character references: "Using character entities and NCRs" http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-escapes Hope that helps, RI ============ Richard Ishida Internationalization Lead W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ http://www.w3.org/International/ http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susanne Jäger > Sent: 10 November 2005 12:21 > To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Subject: Re: [WSG] Character encoding mismatch > > Paul Collins wrote, On 10.11.2005 12:44: > > > I thought this was the correct way to add special characters for > > XHTML, but what I am reading now seems to contradict this. > This is the > > part of standards where I get a bit confused.
