Tim, >Does <HTML LANG=XX> appy to the entire page or just the section follows and before </LANG> (if such thing exist) ? David Baron has responded (somewhat telegraphically :-). Please refer to RFC 2070. There is no such thing as </LANG>. <... LANG=xx> is inherited from outer level components and is overriden by a <... LANG=xx> on nested components. Additionally, <SPAN LANG=xx> may be used to associate a language with, say, a few words. This is terminated by </SPPAN>. >I am publishing pages with largely Polish (windows-1251) and some blockquotes in Chinese (BIG-5). Until Unicode rules the world, how do I go about this? Unicode encodes characters, not languages. Even when, as you put it, Unicode rules the world, we shall need language tags. >Tim Misha
