I understand the need for web pages to denote the 5 HTML special characters >, &, <, ', and " with alternate representations like ".....
(These 5 are the *only* special characters in HTML right?) What I don't understand is why an HTML page encoded with UTF-8 would use this &#...; format for other *NON* special characters as well. It is unnecessary for anything else right? (By the way, this reason this came up is I pasted some text from OpenOffice into a Django form that was pushed to a WordPress site. I noticed a zillion of these &#...; all over the place. Most seemed unnecessary since UTF-8 is already powerful enough to handle all types of chars with addition of special treatment for &, <, >, ' and ". I'm not sure what part of the process added these HTML entities OpenOffice -> Django -> WordPress) Thanks!
