[WEB4LIB] Re: macrons in html?

[Martin Kalfatovic]

Just as a thought/HTML experiment (since Thomas has given us the easy answer!) I thought I'd play with creating the character using layers:

Please note: this is not really practical, but does work!

A w/ macron: &#x100;
a w/ macron: &#x101;
E: &#x112;

I: &#x12a;
i: &#x12b;
O: &#x14c;
o: &#x14d;
U: &#x16a;
u: &#x16b;

Then, it's just a simple matter of finding a browser and a font that do
justice to them.   The same page will also give the numeric references
for letters with breves.
