I can't tell if you're disagreeing or not. You escape the character "<" as the sequence of characters "<", for example, because otherwise the HTML user agent will treat it as the start of a tag and not as character data. You will notice that the character encoding is utterly irrelevant to this. > does the word "information set" mean anything to you? You would appear to be talking about either game theory, or XML, neither of which have anything to do with HTML. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
