In reply to: RC3 Converting special charactersFinally 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>

In reply to: RC3 Converting special charactersFailure, the backtick solution works here but not with WP 2.0 RC3

In reply to: Footer problem in IEI 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.

In reply to: RC3 Converting special charactersLooks like I have a partial solution by using the backticks
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;)
Little unsure about using the < code > tag seeing that got converted into two backticks
Time to go test it on my blogForum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: RC3 Converting special charactersIt 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;#8212; the first time the post is saved it is converted to &#8212; the next time it is saved it is converted to an em-dash — (unicode value &#8212;)
I wrote &amp;#8212; and thas was converted to &#8212; I assume because the support forum is using the same engine as WordPress 2.0 RC3
Quick test
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 — (unicode value &amp;#8212;)
