Hehe... Yep, I "speak" a bit, but "urgency"/misery make it so. If "der
Mann" means you mean I am a man, yes, it's correct. (-: But if it's

Well, what I get, is that any producer is mostly influenced by market
logic. In this sense an implementation of UTF-8 would drastically raise
the level of sale/use/popularity. (I bet that most TB users are so
called "advanced users" or even "geeks", therefore ones who would need
"desperately" such a feature as UTF-8 is.) I don't believe that work on
a HTML editor is what should get some priority, in this, market, sense
and in general. ... Especially for it is "developed" in a such way that
rather produces some awkward impressions, than anything else. (This HTML
editor is, for instance, a perfect antipode to the TB's Plain Text
Editor, by its quality and functionality.)
