phrase markup:character enties

Some commonly used symbols are translated to HTML character entities: - (hyphen or dash), -- (em-dash), < (less than), > (greater than), and & (ampersand).

Explicit character entities like – (dash) and ♥ (♥) are recognized and not translated.

A few constructs inside ( and ) are translated as well, for example: (c) becomes ©.

Other variants of Textile provide extensive translation of (c) type symbols. Xilize handles only three common ones and takes the approach that ♥ is as easy to remember or lookup as (hearts). See the Xilize links for web authors for a complete list symbols and their names.

<p>These symbols will be translated:  &gt;, &lt;, &amp;.</p>

<p>&#8211; and &hearts; will not be.</p>

<p>trademark&#8482; and registered mark&#174; are translated.</p>
