Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters

Thanks Curry. That might be the easiest way to go - no platform check involved. I'm also putting a horizontal ellipsis character in the text so hopefully there's an html equivalent of that. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 10:51 PM, Curry Kenworthy

Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters

Looking into this further, it appears the list of namd html entities in the dictionary entry for htmltext is very incomplete. I just tried crarr; and hellip; and they both work fine but are not listed in the dictionary. Does anyone have an up to date list of what LC recognizes in htmltext for

Thanks Mark. I decided to go the htmltext route so I don't have to worry about platforms. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com wrote: Hi Pete, You can treat Linux in the same way as Windows. -- Best

Mac/WIndows ASCII characters

I'm displaying data from a custom property in a scrolling list field. Before I put the data into the field, I replace return chars in it with numToChar(182) - the paragraph symbol. This works fine on Windows but on a Mac I get a completely different character - an O with some sort of accent
