Hi,
        I would appreciate if someone could tell me what is currently the
norm for internatinal chars. on the WWW.  Do we still have to type the codes
(&eacute; for an é) or can we type the character in the HTML file.  With all
the browsers I tried, the &eacute; is useless since the software recognised
the characters (é).

        Thank you

        Frederic Naud

PS I'm new to the list, but I didn't see that subject in the archive so
please forgive me if this tread was resolved earlier.
