[emacs-wiki-discuss] Re: Entity markup

[J. Bromley]

The short story is ignore that last patch. It seems to work with emacs-wiki
alone, but NOT when planner uses emacs-wiki to generate HTML. The long story
follows.

A big oops, I retract the patch, it works too well with planner mode! The rule
is no where specific enough and it catches every instance of <>"'&, even those
that should be left, like tag delimiters. This only seems to happen when
emacs-wiki is used to publish planner pages, so I'll obviously have to do a
deeper investigation of how planner uses emacs-wiki to generate HTML and
implement another solution.

Sorry, I got a bit excited when I patched emacs-wiki-publish.el and tested it
with emacs-wiki and all was well. As soon as I republished my planner pages
and loaded the HTML in my browser I realized I had biffed it hard.

Anyway, I'm still interested if anyone has any comments on generating
entities. I'm particularly anxious to get my web pages XHTML 1.0 compliant.

Sorry again and regards.
