Hi Paul,
the problem is this:
The different words I am using for different languages are defined in
an Emacs lisp file. That file has a certain coding system, and since
I want to be compatible with older versions of Emacs, I do not want
this file in a modern utf-8 encoding, but simply in plain ASCII.
Now, when I publish HTML files, I need to insert into these files
something that is compatible with the coding system of that HTML
file. All the possible combinations here drive me crazy and I find
this boring, so that is why I am settling for HTML entities. Path of
lowest resistance.
If the whole world was using Emacs 23, this probably would not be an
issue, but another decade at least will pass until we are there.
- Carsten
