We are the new kid on the block and are adapting quickly to satisfy our community's needs, as we look forward to exceeding your expectations and pushing boundaries like never before. Lastly, there will be no changes in format without a general consensus from the community. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the ride!

  The UTF-8 support is a lie.

  Well, sort of. I can see Unicode goodies in other people's posts, just can't conjure them myself.

    They seem to work only with entities like ζ but not with direct entry like à¥. Apparently the UTF8-bytes get interpreted as latinn1 instead.

      Oops, I should also have given the input form. In the first case, it was ζ, in the second form the unicode character U+0950 entered directly. Well, actually (as you probably have guessed by now), I meant to use ॐ, resulting in &#x0950.

        Err ... resulting in ॐ of course — I really should have used preview ...

          And I see nesting ends at level 7. Is this configurable somewhere? I've got enough screen space to allow several more nesting levels.

          Note that it may make sense to store the maximal nesting level in a cookie, to allow different settings on different devices.
