Hi there, I'm a bit confused on this issue. If I use the following in my pages: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> Should I be using character entity names such as: " or the numbers: ” or does it matter? Also should I be using utf-8 or another set? This is not an international site, just a US site.
