            Incorrect HTML code :

    As far as I can tell from looking at the code, these names are correct for HTML 
1.1. The new names are used in HTML 1.2 
(https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/draft-ietf-iiir-html-01.txt 
<https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/draft-ietf-iiir-html-01.txt>) and later (and recode 
generates them correctly for those versions too, though recode only recognises 
version 2, not 1.2).

    I'm afraid I can't find a spec for HTML 1.1 online; it seems to be so old 
that it's not really considered a standard at all, and in any case there's no 
reason to be using it. I'm reluctant to make any changes without definitive 
documentation: looking at the code, this coding in recode has not changed since 
recode 3.4 in 1994, and François Pinard was pretty careful about this sort of 
thing (and both those letters are in his first language).


My bad
These characters where defined by https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1866 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1866> for HTML 2.0
  and echo "î" | recode UTF_8..HTML_2.0 gives the correct answer

I understand that this was not a bug after all. Closing then without version.

Thanks.
