Hello,
I was working again with some HTML (this time not stored in the DB :P)
and I'm not sure if HTML special characters are allowed. Characters
like ¢ - ¢ © - © or ÷ ÷. I tried to escape them
with \\ but Links keeps complaining about the unexpected character: &
Can you advise me about this?
Sadly, these are not supported as yet.
I think we would probably first implement "numeric entity refs," that
is, entities of the form A for 'A', using Unicode codepoints to
identify characters. I have no idea when we might find time to do
something like this. The named references you're talking about are not
part of the general XML standard (though they are part of the XHTML
standard), so implementing them would take us out of XML itself.
Of course, the entity references <, > and & are part of the
XML standard and are implemented in Links syntax.
