(To David, who sent me a private e-mail: I sent this message to the Amaya list because I thought I was relevant for the discussion.) Characters of code position 161 through 255 in Charset ISO-8859-1 do not transfer well over the Internet. Therefore the need of converting - in the HTML source code - these characters to entity names or numbers. The above would also concern characters of code positions above 255. I cut off at 8364 because that's where the list at HTML Spec. ended. But, that was wrong. I forgot the list for Symbols, which ends with 9830. As for using Charset ISO-8859-1 on documents that includes characters of code positions above 255 - I cannot say, I am probably wrong using it as ISO-8859-1 seems to end at 255. So, Charset US-ASCII should then be used. Regards, Thomas Jedenfelt P.S. UCS = Universal Character Set (defined in ISO10646). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Woolley" Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 > > > > (As previously mentioned, when using Charset ISO-8859-1 it is my > > Wish that Amaya will generate Decimal character references for > > characters of code position 161 through 8364, for the purpose of > > accurately transferring HTML-files over the Internet.) > > If you specify ISO-8859-1 you are making a claim that you can > accurately transfer all the valid HTML characters up to and > including 255.
