Thread: pgsql: Remove unportable use of SGML character-code entity.
Remove unportable use of SGML character-code entity. It'd be nice to be able to spell Jan Urbanski's name with the correct accent marks, but we haven't yet found a way that works in everybody's docs toolchain. This way definitely doesn't.

This way definitely doesn't. Accent-N is not available in Latin1, so we are stuck. We could do tilde-N, but that seems wrong. The good news is that this is the only name I couldn't do. We might try Asian characters someday if we had a UTF toolchain. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

Actually Pavel Stehule's last name has some funny accent too (it's Stěhule). I don't think you can do that in Latin1. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
