Dear Sergey Tkachenko,

I thought these special characters were part of the HTML 4.01 standard. I'm

not sure about it.

I found the following link for ISO-8859-1:

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entitiesref.asp

Standard HTML webpages which are creates in DreamWeaver are using this ISO-type.

My application work also that way.

Maybe you could inform me.

Thanks.
