/ "Thomas G. Lockhart" <lockhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say: | Hi. Someone has pointed out to me that their "older Netscape" browser | has trouble with the "#8212" character generated by the 1.18 style | sheets. Don't know if older versions of Norm's sheets used the same | convention. Any suggestions for how to handle older browsers? btw, I | would have expected the character to be a dash of some sort, and it is | shown as such by my v4.07 Netscape... As usual, cross platform/vendor browser issues are frustrating. In my stylesheets, I've used (literal "\em-dash;"), which Jade turns into a unicode character reference (—). IE4 and NS4 both understand this reference, but I'd prefer to use an entity name. Unfortunately, NS4 doesn't recognize either — or &emdash; (but IE4 recognizes —). The only thing I can do is turn the \em-dash back into "--", which seems a shame. Have I overlooked something?
