Re: [webmin-devel] [WTCO] Old Webmin-Theme

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

I agree that this is a potential problem, but fortunately it doesn't
seem to cause any trouble in reality as all browsers that I've seen can
handle single-byte characters like =E4. The only proper solution would be
for the default theme to convert all escaped entities into their
single-byte format before rendering titles. This would be trivial if I
could find a list of all HTML entities and their corresponding special
characters ..
