I didn't realize there was a restriction on using non-alphanumerics. I was also tempted to try "†". I will dig into the standard to conform to it, but no - no reason in particular - just a convenience to try and make the note marker behaviour in Xiphos act like the other two browsers (but now I understand why this is not so). ~Andrew On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Karl Kleinpaste <k...@kleinpaste.org> wrote: > Andrew Thule <thules...@gmail.com> writes: >> Xiphos (which I wish I could get working in OSX sometimes).
