There are times when you are looking for a solution of a problem and nothing seems to help… until you realize that you missed something very stupid. This happened to me today: I’m playing around a bit with ckeditor and of course, I wanted it to play nice with languages like Hebrew and Greek (for those wondering: I study Theology). So I tried to have some Hebrew letters as initial values, and what I got looked like this:This does not look very HebrewWhen I clicked on „Quellcode“ which is German for „source code“ I saw what I learned is called html entities, 4 or 5 character sets that all started with &....
