Re: Anyone know how to get rid of these ugly html character entities?

The arrows are correctly rendered in FWN 161 for me, how does that one
look for you, Oisin?

What I started out with was the printable version of the wiki page, and
then threw this into an editor to tweak the headings and such.

Anyone know how to get rid of these ugly html character entities?

Hi all,

Heads up to the other editors preparing the mailshot:

I see that the LWN.net[1] copy of FWN#162 has some ugly HTML numeric
character references. The little upwards arrow[2] which is used on the
wikipage to allow readers to jump back to the text seems not to be
replaced with a code when it's processed through maillists. Anyone got
any ideas of how to get rid of this? All I can think of was using vim
to manually find the hex for the multibyte character (positioned cursor
over up-arrow and did a :ga and got 2191 as the hex code) and then
substituting over the entire file using a:
% s/CTRL-v u 2191//g

It's no biggie, but I'd rather not have an extra editing step if anyone
can suggest something automated.
