I have used entites far long ago, as I thought it would be the best way to write hungarian chars... But it turned out, that while it is not readable in the source code (XML/HTML), it is not working better at all. I can give the same advice for HTML files, do not use character entities, where not needed, use your native characters, but always add an ecoding specifier... Goba
