The "Trivia" page in the literary pages was given its own section in the Literary Pages index. The literary pages were scanned to fix errant 'em dashes' and 'en dashes' in the text - originally X'97' (Decimal 151) and X'96' (Decimal 150) were used for the em dash and the en dash respectively. This worked with some code pages but not all, and violates Unicode and especially UTF-8, as does — often used as em dash but still incorrect. The characters were replaced with — for em dash and – for en dash, the correct encoding for those glyphs as of HTML 4.0 (which supports Unicode). This encoding works with current browsers but might cause a problem on older browsers; however the choice seems to be binary. |
