Hi Carsten and Sebastian,

Thanks for your suggestions!

It seems the choice of unicode or not  is up to the developer for coding that part. For documentation purpose only,  I would prefer to have a first draft of character table which only contains two columns on Worg page:

  | Symbol  | Org       |
  |---------+-----------+
  | \nbsp   | ~\nbsp~   |
  | \iexcl  | ~\iexcl~  |
  | \cent   | ~\cent~   |
 
Is that OK?

Xin

Forgot to say:

It's always a good idea to use the unicode entity notations in (X)HTML,
since you will not get an error `undefined entity...'

Example:

 Use `&#160;' instead of `&nbsp;'


Regards

 Sebastian
