Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters
Thanks Curry. That might be the easiest way to go - no platform check involved. I'm also putting a horizontal ellipsis character in the text so hopefully there's an html equivalent of that.

Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters
Looking into this further, it appears the list of namd html entities in the dictionary entry for htmltext is very incomplete. I just tried crarr; and hellip; and they both work fine but are not listed in the dictionary. Does anyone have an up to date list of what LC recognizes in htmltext for ascii chars 127? Is it possible it supports them all, as listed at http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_symbols.asp? This also makes me wonder if the list of tags supported by htmltext is complete.

Mac/WIndows ASCII characters
I'm displaying data from a custom property in a scrolling list field. Before I put the data into the field, I replace return chars in it with numToChar(182) - the paragraph symbol. This works fine on Windows but on a Mac I get a completely different character - an O with some sort of accent over it. I'm aware of the ISOToMac/MacToISO functions but I thought those were only for ascii chars 128 that were stored on Windows then displayed on Mac or vice versa. In this case, I'm just replacing the return character before loading it into the field, not changing it in the custom property. What am I doing wrong?
