Right, however that's what I'm trying to avoid. Since the data and functionality are *already* in webkit, it seems a shame for me (and all the other apps out there) to have to roll their own.

Yeah, that's one approach but it is way overkill for many needs, and invokes threads that aren't what you want for a simple function, and also only go from named entity into rendered Unicode character, and not the opposite (as you mention). I want the named entities rather than numbered for human-coder-readability.... _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
