 |
|
I just noticed that my chromium-7.0.517.44 does not render HTML symbols like Greek letters ( &alpha &pi etc ) or ±
Don't remeber seeing it before, and firefox works correctly on the same sites.
Did anybody experience the same ?

Works for me with a trunk build (9.0.595.0) and a dummy page I cooked up:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>test page</title>
</head>
<body>
Alpha: α
Pi: π
</body>
</html> |
What does your browser render in place of the Greek letters? |

| Could you post a site that doesn't work for you? |

Ah, there's the problem: the site is leaving off the semi-colons on the end. Instead of &omega it should be ω.
The site is technically broken. Firefox and Chrome just have different interpretations of said brokenness. |

| If you think the old behavior was better, you should go ahead and open a bug at crbug.com. |

I don't mind if the standards are enforced. Since that was my site, I corrected it |
