The disadvantage of HTML entities (such as š) is that they can only be used in, well..., HTML. That means the templates.
The advantage is that they consist of nothing but ASCII characters, so they are always displayed the same way. By contrast, the advantage of UTF-8 characters is that they are easy to understand. Kiša is more intuitive than Ki%scaran;a. The disadvantage is they require that software be told what the encoding is. Many text editors don't handle this well. So, WeeWX uses entities where it can (the templates), and UTF-8 elsewhere. -tk -tk On Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 5:48 AM Pila <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, I see, not HTML chars but the plain ones are needed for graphs. > > And as for the Cardinal points - I was afraid that may be the answer > seeing the strucutre of data usage. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/35e2820c-3767-4fef-bb64-22b2019f63c7%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/35e2820c-3767-4fef-bb64-22b2019f63c7%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
