Subject: Use EN DASH characters directly in Web page, without entities
X-Git-Tag: bedstead-002.008~8
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~bjharris/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b920b86982ab8e0de639a253a098268b433e170;p=bedstead.git

Use EN DASH characters directly in Web page, without entities

The W3C HTML 5 checker objects to my use of "&ndash;" and I can't see
any reason why I should use it.  The page is unashamedly in UTF-8, so
there's not much benefit to singling out this one character for special
treatment.

The page is still officially in XHTML 1.0 Strict at the moment, but I
might want to change that, which is why I'm paying attention to an
HTML 5 checker.
