Hello.

I didn't even know there was an i18n list for slashcode. Oh!

I am afraid I can't help specifically with portugese but I am going to be
looking at this problem from a slightly different angle. I have users
who submit articles with smart quotes and unicode "mdashes" and
such like.

I think there are CPAN modules to convert unicode into html
escape sequences which kind of makes sense for me. I am not
sure if that would be helpful to you?

If so then show some encouragement.... I ought to upgrade to
MySQL4.x first but if this is bothering you then maybe I can
sort it for both of us.
