I decided to test some comments (I just pulled the Russian characters from a translation of a W3C document, I think they mean the previous version or something; in any case they did not display in my browser here or in Word [they are replaced by ? ; Chinese characters are replaced by little rectangles): <html lang="fr"> <head> </head> <body> <code> // Последняя версия: </code> </body> </html> <html lang="fr"> <head> </head> <body> <code lang="zxx"> // Последняя версия: </code> </body> </html> or the same code again but with the <code lang="zxx"> section surrounded by a tag <p lang="ru"></p> did not display properly in my browser; not even with <code lang="ru"> nor in Word with language preferences set to Russian. On the other hand, I'm not having a problem with the French characters here with any language settings, so maybe having comments with accents in French is an option perhaps! Depends on the browsers and editors other people are using though. Oh well. There may be no proper way to encode such comments. --C. E.
