This must be a simple fix... otherwise Tidy is useless. 

Starting with this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

<html>
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<body>
  <P>Santa&#8211;Claus</P>
</body>
</html>

When I do Tidy the &#8211; is replaced by an en dash, which sometimes displays 
correctly and sometimes doesn't. I want to keep &#8211; as it is. How do I do 
that with Tidy?

Thanks,

Kim
