    Finally worked it out well at least for the WP 2.0 release.

    You need to turn off the rich text editor and the automatically correcting HTML option in the profile section and make sure you select apply.

    In Safari 1.3 you get no visual clues as to whether the rich text editor is on or off. So check in another browser. But turning off those two options resolves my problem.

    You are correct (assuming you are running WP 1.5.2 or 2.0 and have not hacked your functions-formatting.php file)

    one – = –
    two – = —
    three – = –

    if you want to turn it off you need to comment out the following lines from functions-formatting.php
    <code>
    $curl = str_replace('--', '& #8211;', $curl);
    $curl = str_replace('---', '& #8212;', $curl);
    $curl = str_replace(' -- ', ' & #8212; ', $curl);
    </code>

    note no space between & and #

    Failure, the backtick solution works here but not with WP 2.0 RC3

    I see it in IE6 on XP, whooami you just need to scroll down to the bottom then up and down a few times and watch the maroon footer invade the blue menu column.

    I would say there is a problem with how the floats are cleared.

    Looks like I have a partial solution by using the backticks
    If in a post I write &amp;amp;amp;#8212; the first time the post is saved it is converted to &amp;amp;#8212; the next time it is saved it is converted to an em-dash &amp;#8212 (unicode value &amp;amp;#8212;)
    Little unsure about using the < code > tag seeing that got converted into two backticks
    Time to go test it on my blog

    It is not TinyMCE, I was using the standard editor (the only editor available) with Safari on a Mac.

    Also my original post here should of read:

    If in a post I write &amp;amp;#8212; the first time the post is saved it is converted to &amp;#8212; the next time it is saved it is converted to an em-dash &#8212 (unicode value &amp;#8212;)

    I wrote &amp;amp;#8212; and thas was converted to &amp;#8212; I assume because the support forum is using the same engine as WordPress 2.0 RC3

    Quick test
