It renders correctly in Amaya and MSIE 4.0, but not Netscape > 4.5 or HotJava 1.1.5. You can insert the set of entities with the greek palette provided by the Math button. The only problem is that in 1.4a version Amaya generates a span around the entity. We're fixing this bug in the next release, but today you have to remove this span by hand. > However, now I get to my bug report: > > After editing the file containing ∞ in Amaya 1.4a on Solaris, the file > is saved with the Yen symbol (¥ - ISO8859-1 code 0xA5, Unicode 0x00A5) instead > of my hand-edited entity reference which should be unicode 0x221E, Symbol font > code 0xA5. > > The same thing has happened with other SGML entities I have tried which are > not in ISO8859-1 (eg ℵ turn into À). I tested that on the 1.4a version and it worked well: ∞ remains ∞ after a save. Irene.
