Hi, Thanks to everyone that replied. I have no figured out that HTML4/ Strict works for me and UTF8 is good too. I also learnt to change the preferences in my editor so that 'default file encodings' was 'Unicode UTF8' rather than automatic, which means that I do not need to use odd HTML characters for things like apostrophes (the keyboard one works just fine).
Excellent news, I am so happy and feel that I understand it a bit better now.
