<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I have text that uses a colon which I want to put in a definition list (specifically in the Definition Term). The problem is, that the colon terminates the dt tag. The result (which is kind of interesting) is that the character immediately following the colon then appears as the first character of the dd.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>So, if i were to markup the following:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Andale Mono'"> </font></span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Andale Mono'">:Lions::King of the jungle cats:</font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The result would look something like this:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Lions<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>:King of the jungle cats</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>As opposed to the expected:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Lions:<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>King of the jungle cats<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>This markup:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Andale Mono'"> </font></span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Andale Mono'">:"Lions:":King of the jungle cats:</font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Would produce:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>"Lions<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>":King of the jungle cats<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I tried using the HTML entity: &58; (if your email program parses that in to an actual colon...

Is there anyplace where I can define entities? The SpecialCharactersList (<a href="http://www.pmwiki.com/wiki/PmWiki/SpecialCharactersList">http://www.pmwiki.com/wiki/PmWiki/SpecialCharactersList</a>) does not list the colon and says that these entities are defined in RSS.php; a file I can not find (looked in /scripts/).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Andy</div></body></html>
