In reply to the discussion: Unofficial DU3 Basic HTML Reference Lookup Table [View all]Make7
(8,546 posts)I've pointed that out before in replies to people on occasion when I notice their thread titles getting mangled. Never thought to add a reply to my own html thread though. I should make more of an effort to maintain this (although when they disabled most user code, it seemed less necessary).
I really wish the Admins would fix that deletion of special characters in titles issue — it doesn't really enhance security (they probably only need to escape less than and greater than signs; single and double quotes; and the equals sign).
You can also use just about any Unicode character as an html entity in thread/reply titles too. For example, the full width equals sign ( = ) is useful — it won't even disappear when you preview it first (that seems to be true for all characters above 255 (I think)).
