All right then, replying to my just prior post, preview mode didn't show the conversion of a "long dash" symbol to a single quote, but the actual post does the conversion ('''''''). I'm sure that's fixable should Manlobbi deem it worthwhile.

------------------

Man this is complicated and tedious. All these permutations of what gets translated to what.

Why not a simple what you type is what is shown when posted, with one exception, "If what you type is not displayable, then it is replaced with some character string such as "<undefined char>" ".

The fact this is not done must have a reason rooted in the peculiarities of web site programming, something I admit I know nothing about.
