Actually the first 128 characters of the unicode standard is the ASCII standard. However #32 thur #126 are used for this newsgroup. The Unicode standard above #127 is not ASCII. Unicode or parts of it has been applied to eypgtian hieroglyphs for reading and transmitting over the internet. Thousands of heiroglyphs to read if you have the script and can under- stand the glyphs. >I have different objectives, however, one of which is to simply find >easier ways to publish my blog "Pilcrow News".

Has anybody been here, done that already? xml if i understand correctly is designed to describe information and html is used for the display of it. Sticking with ASCII uneless your blogs is in some type of readable glyphs in my opinion is the best bet. Have not toyed with xml yet. obascii --- .'""'. Ahh ((.)(.)) I Donno ('. _.'( ( .')
