I'm confused. And I'm on OS 10.3.9 and BBEdit 8.5 because of my SE/30 file server that I can't give up. But when I copy other people's HTML or JavaScript into BBEdit the non breaking space shows up as an encoded which looks like 6 7-bit ASCII characters starting with an ampersand and ending with a semicolon. In the Apple world that means an OPTION-space 8-bit character or possibly an equivalent unicode symbol but it is in the encoded form to facilitate transmission via a web site. Just where is it getting converted to the 16 bit unicode that is in BBEdit's image in memory? And is it a unicode non-breaking space? At that level it can't be an OPTION-space using Apple's upper-ASCII encoding. Is the original JavaScript in UTF-8 encoding to start with? I would think BBEdit would just keep the encoding when expanding unicode or simple ASCII from a clipboard generated by a browser. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
