    HTML character refs get through the parser

    Hey there.

    No biggie here, just a note in case it had slipped your attention:

    HTML character refs such as ¾ come out like this: ¾

    (I used the old [b][/b] thing for that first one)

    It's not a problem. In fact, you could say it was a feature, it might come in handy. Can be a bit annoying though. I'm not sure if the parser you use at the moment sorts out entitity refs like & , if not then it might be handy. I don't write much HTML here so it doesn't matter to me particularly.

    Anway I thought you forum coders looked a bit at a loss for things to do () so there's something to add to the list of things to do, if you think it's beneficial to change it.
    Harry.

    This is only good behaviour outside [code] tags because as people have said before, things like &lt go manky.
