No. It maps to ISO 10646 regardless of the transfer character set++. This is why ’, from Front Page, etc., is invalid. HTML undergoes an extra character set transformation before it gets treated as SGML; that transformation is specified in the HTTP Content-Type header, or, in default, by the the equivalent meta element. > An HTML SGML character entity is to map to a representation > that *depends on* the *display* capabilities. An SGML character entity maps to the numeric character reference specified in the entity definition file. ++ For early versions of HTML, it mapped to ISO 8859/1, which is a proper subset of ISO 10646. Those versions didn't have named Greek entities! ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
