Given the just-applied changes in the definition of a "word", we no longer need a totally-not-ASCII sample word.

So instead of "foo" we could use "elephant" for asciiword and "Éléphant" (french) for word. And for the hword, "sous-espèces" (which appears on the French Wikipedia) would do. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.flickr.com/photos/alvherre/ "La espina, desde que nace, ya pincha" (Proverbio africano) ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

And for the hword, "sous-espèces" (which appears on the French > Wikipedia) would do. Hmm ... I see a potential problem with that, which is that if someone happened to be viewing the page on something that dropped the accents, or even just made them too small to be easily readable, the examples wouldn't make any sense at all. I have no problem with "elephant" as a sample asciiword, but for the sample non-ascii word I'd suggest something that (a) is clearly not English and (b) as much as possible, everybody knows has an accent. At least in large parts of the US, something like "mañana" would work nicely. Anyway, feel free to hack on it --- I'm getting a bit weary of looking at that chapter. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
