How do i need to substitute that when i write html manually??



I use the apple keyboard, in Italian. If i do nothing for that, it substitutes all letters like òÃ*ùèìç°é with horrible cubes!!!



Please tell someone the right thingy to add...



I've forgotten what to add.. and I need that doing the stuff manually...



:confused: :eek:

    if you are trying to keep the accented entries as they come from the keyboard (remember your postings from paris with strange keyboard layout causing curious syntax) the html may be as confused as some readers



    rather, try english keyboard setting and enter the special characters using ascii codes "eg: æ"



    tables of ascii code equivalents to give appropriate diacritical marks and accents can be found <a href="http://www.cookwood.com/html4_4e/examples/appendices/symbols1.html"; target="_blank">here</a>

    hope these help

    The problem is i had started some files in zinzoz and then too many times have forgotten to add something to substitute that "standard". if i never added anything to the keyboard it shows that wrong... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />



    I'll try that string, thanx
