Indeed, I've seen that on the Web, but as you say browser support leaves something to be desired (and as has already been pointed out, I misremembered it in my first post).
Although 153, and 174 work find on this Linux box, trust Nick to know about RiscOs.
Me? No, I just know a little about character encodings. The fact that Windoze and RiscOS have *different* characters assigned to a set of undefined entities (which they are perfectly entitled to do internally, just as they could use EBCDIC) is a classic example of why you can't use undefined entities and expect to be interoperable.
All map to "[tm]" rather than a symbol, which gives another simpler alternative ;)
But that alternative would preclude getting the benefit of a standards- compliant browser doing a better job. (I have a RiscOS box bought back in '87 - which is exactly when I first got on the 'net - but alas it has declined to boot for several years now). -- Nick Kew -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
