Greek letters in a tiddler

[noel...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

After looking of a post on adding greek symbols in a tiddler, I only
found one post:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/cc31bbefc15697e9/5d6b3b2586906590?lnk=st&q=tiddlywiki+greek+symbols+HTML&rnum=1&hl=en#5d6b3b2586906590

However, I found using the entry code from
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html
works :)

I'm using Firefox and version 2.02 of tiddlywiki.

Hope this helps someone :)

Cheers
Noel

I think since the post you referenced, TiddlyWiki has added support for HTML entities (which are the things that start with & and end with ; ). 
If you're using Unicode characters remember to check your page in IE as well, sometimes support for individual characters varies between browsers.

Cheers

You can have lower greek in your ordered lists
ol {list-style-type: lower-greek;}

If your using an earlier version of TW I have a 'wikifier' that renders the HTML entities, also of interest I have several tiddlers full of the HTML symbols for greek, latin, math, and other funny html entities.  Here's the URL for the greek ones:

search in my TW for Entities and you'll find all the defined entities in one of 4 different tiddlers..
