Thank you again.  It took a little while but it is all working now. To
find the final bits: I went to TurboBlog to see what you were doing.

I had not replied here yet because I am writing it up to contribute to
'roughdocs'.

I was a bit surprised because I was trying to follow the Unicode
everywhere approach in the hope there would be no problems.

Am really not knowledgeable on Unicode, nor am I prepared to comment
on the Python implementation. I would expect that it is good and that
the Py3K implementation might be better(!).

Thank you again for your help and these references which I will draw
upon in writing a HOWTO for TurboTinyMCE.

Most of the issues I hit against were the impedence between HTML in
ISO8859-1 and XHTML (XML) in Unicode.  It was interesting to read that
someone has done a patch for TinyMCE so that it edits XHTML.  I am not
sure how thorough it would be in handling replacements for HTML
entities.  It might be beneficial for a future TurboGears widget to
work with a patched TinyMCE and XHTML.  Perhaps ToscaWidgets has
already managed this.

Thanks again
  A
