HTMLEntities

Attribute Data Type:	boolean
Attribute Default Value:	true
Atrribute Group:	HTML
Attribute Inherited from Preferences?	No
Attribute Read-Only?	No

When 'true', characters like ampersands and accented characters are converted into HTML entities, i.e. & becomes &.

Added the degree symbol to the characters turned into entities. Swiss, French and German quote styles are automatically detected and 'entified' without needing to resort to this setting.

^getFor^ and ^get^ (and other export markup elements) check this attribute before encoding values.

English typographic quotation marks “ ” and ‘ ’ are exported as HTML entities rather than straight quotes, e.g.  for “ left curly double quotes.

The symbol € is exported as &euro;.

Δ is exported as Δ, δ as δ, μ as μ and ∑ as ∑.
