Hallo! At http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-December/008739.html i described that it impossible for me to insert the "real" UFT-8 character . A comment from Brion at IRC: gangleri: from what i recall of past tests, a non-breaking space in HTML generally ends up as a regular space when you copy-paste from a browser this may depend on the browser but it's not really anything we can change from our end Why this request: There are some MediaWiki messages which will not render HTML entities and / or codings as &#nnnn; / &#xnnnn;. Such messages vonvert "&" to "&". This can be a problem because it restricst the coices. Maybe a change in the charinsert extension syntax can provide a way to insert the corresponding character to an HTML entity / to &#nnnn; / to &#xnnnn; but let ist be specified as such. It would not be acceptable that the only way to insert such codes is that developers hack the database. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
*addendum* for change in the charinsert extension syntax please see Bug 3821: diacritic cannot be used on their own I suppose we need a kind of "labeling" specifying a) what will be inserted b) how this will be displayed for example in [[MediaWiki:Toolbox]]. Labeling would allow to represent: whitespace characters, diacritics, general punctuation characters etc. Please let me know if such a sysntax is available already. Thanks in advance!
