The link  <http://localhost/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/temp>

Chaps,

I've been feeling the pressure to get this character encoding tutorial stuff
finished lately, so over the past few days I've pushed aside other work and
done a bit of a blitz on it and related things.

I put HTML5 in the front seat, as discussed during the telecon - ie. I
rewrote/reorganized the text to reflect the fact that HTML5 will be the way
forward, and made recommendations based on that.  This also involved beefing
up the text on HTML5 to some extent.

I produced a "quick answer" section related to encoding declarations, for
those who just want to be told what to do with the minimum of explanations,
and arranged the detailed explanations afterwards for those who want to
explore in more detail. 

I moved all the text out into separate articles.  This was a bit of work
initially, but will help me a lot to maintain things and avoid duplication
in the future.  I think it also helps readers, by forcing more care into the
packaging of the text and not hitting people over the head with a huge
amount of information at once.  The tutorial then becomes a mechanism for
assembling links to the various articles in a way that introduces people to
and helps them work through the topic.

There are 6 new articles, plus two other articles that have been upgraded
(Using character escapes in markup and CSS, and CSS character encoding
declarations)

Please could you take a read through the tutorial, following the links to
the articles, and let me know if I made any silly errors.  Thanks.

The tutorial is here:
<http://localhost/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/temp>
http://localhost/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/temp

I'd like to push this out quickly.  We need to replace the current tutorial
text.

I also did a lot of work on the techniques indexes, not only to add the new
articles, but also to spruce up the sections related to character encodings.
I did this across several of the techniques pages, but I haven't uploaded
the new versions yet, since we haven't announced the new articles.

Cheers,
RI
