LiveCode seems to render all the html entities, in both forms where 
applicable, listed on this page, under Linux and Windows:


https://www.freeformatter.com/html-entities.html

You may run into issues of a char not being available using a particular 
font on a particular system, but LiveCode seems to otherwise be 
completely fluent in html entities.

Thanks Mark.  I decided to go the htmltext route so I don't have to worry
about platforms.

Thanks Warren, that works.

Do you happen to know if all the entities mentioned there are supported
within htmltext?  Per my other post, they're not all mentioned in the
dictionary entry for htmltext

Really? That's odd as I didn't know it was that similar! LOL.

Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters

[Peter Haworth]

Looking into this further, it appears the list of namd html entities in the
dictionary entry for htmltext is very incomplete.  I just tried ↵ and
… 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.

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.

Hi Pete,

Either use isoToMac(numToChar(182)) or numToChar(166). The isoToMac and 
macToIso functions apply to all ASCII character above 128 and not only if store 
on one platform and displayed on another. If you use the Latin-1 character 
table on Mac, like you're doing now, you'll always need the isoToMac function 
to convert the characters to MacRoman.
