Hi Marc & list,
-----Original Message----- From: Marc Delisle
there are a few html entities like " and . Please note that in FAQ 7.2 we discourage the use of those.
Do we absolutely need the ones that are currently in english-iso?
We do, indeed. According to the XHTML specification, we M-U-S-T use entities for some specific characters:
" for " & for & < for < > for >
The entity (nbsp = non-breaking space) avoids line feeds at ist position, so it should only be used for this intention.
By the way, FAQ 7.2 says:
"With html entities, the text on buttons would not display correctly."
This is nonsense because the botton labels are stored in attributes and entities are allowed there. The problem with the entities are the JS messages that are defined inside a <script> tag. There, HTML entities would not get parsed.
