I don't see anything in the HTML5 spec that says anything about this deprecation, although it's admittedly a rather dense spec and I may easily have missed it. Nonetheless, there's a table in the HTML5 spec right now reading "Named character references": "this table lists the character reference names supported by HTML and the code points to which they refer." This at least suggests that you're still going to be able to use named entities. http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#named-character-references -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
