Hi John, This is not a bug: Amaya generates entities, when the character doesn't exist in the current encoding. When your document is utf-8 encoded, there is not reason to generate an entity to code the pound character. When I write a French document, I won't understand why Amaya will generate entities for each "é", "è", etc. characters except if the document is ascii encoded.
