I read the message ref Arachne not handling entity names correctly, and decided to visit the link given. From there I linked to the above URL. With a quick scan of the 120+ entities listed, it appeared that Arachne correctly portrayed at least 90% of them ... and two of the items in the list were errors to begin with. <G> The semi-colon had been left off for some reason and that is not an official/correct entity IIRC. There are a number of "entities" which aren't on that list but which Arachne nonetheless displays correctly ... they are written by dozerware based html generators, and consist of high level ascii characters rather than the alphanumeric "more normal" entities. So all in all, so far Arachne is coming out OK with me. The only times I can recall seeing what appeared to be an entity displayed in code format on my screen, javascript has been involved each time. l.d. -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
