I see that in OpenOffice Writer your HTML tags have typographical quotes (”curly quotes”) where they should be plain quotes. “Intelligent” word processors will trash your HTML, you should use Notepad (or a similar text editor) that is more literal. If this worked in the past, it was a corrective case on our end which seems to have not adapted to recent changes. (Long story short, we went from using Latin1 to UTF-8 character sets, and both Latin1 and UTF-8 have their own idea of what constitutes a curly quote, and they are different!)

OH WOW!

Yes, that would explain the problem.

Thanks John.

I was advised by others to use notepad, So I wil try it. I am currently working on another Commentary and will give you a heads up if I still have a problem.l

Question, if note pad does fix the problem, is there another Word program I could use besides Open Office for my MAC that would work with the new system?

I dislike note pad since it is limited in its functions, but I also want to get back to posting things I write that works.

One more thing, is the new system the reason when I go into editing my profile page that everything is jumbled up in one long paragraph view so it makes it difficult to find things I want to edit?

It used to keep the HTML in a systematic order for us to easily find and change things, now is HTML hell to locate something I need to change.

I realize I have an extensive Profile page, but I was wanting to use it as a blog to post my articles and things on so no one has to leave FR and cut down on the nasty comments some FReepers seem to use when attacking bloggers.

(I might have mentioned these, before . . .)

On Mac OS, I suggest BBEdit / TextWrangler

BareBones.com now says to use BBEdit instead of TextWrangler.

These BBEdit products include grep search and several regular expression tools (RegEx / RegExp).
