Special Characters

[WeBBy]

This hack has got to exist,but I have searched high and low and cannot find it anywhere.

I need a way to allow the poster to insert special characters without knowing html coding, like the ability to insert greek letters (mu, gamma, delta, etc) and/or special european characters like "æ".

This could probably be done with a simple javascript, but haven't been able to get anything to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanx

You can just make replacement variables like [ae], [mu], etc.

Could you elaborate just a little on that?

What I am thinking you mean is like in the censor log, to have the characters replaced. VERY interresting idea, could work, but...

Assume we assigned ae to be replaced with æ, then whenever someone typed in a word like "disease", it would change into "disæse" !

You would have to come up with a whole system of unique designations. And this would prolly not be possible.

But then again, if you made it lijke you suggested [ae], that might solve the problem!
