Tip: Adding support for utf-8 entities

[Henrik Bechmann]

To add support for utf-8 entities (like ✓ = a checkmark), do the following:

configure your instance of simplewiki like this:

$simplewiki->register_charfilter_handler(array($this,'process_htmlentities'));

Then define the charfilter handler thus:

public function process_htmlentities($text,$node) // not using $node parameters
{
 return htmlentities(html_entity_decode($text,ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401,'UTF-8'),ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401,'UTF-8');// allow html entities
}

...then of course your authors can just type entities straight into the markup code...
