An apology and a correction! Danny Thomas' script offers the possibility to transform special bytes to tags of the form "&#number;". I was looking for a transformation to tags of the form "&name;" and *that* I did not find (or did I overlook that, too ?). I should add that the "&name;" form is my favourite. A previous reply from Jamie McCarthy went in that direction, through a sequence of "s" statements. The script that I referred to (in a rather vague manner) did something similar with one "tr" statement.
