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 ` ' instead of ` '
Regards
Sebastian
