What I started out with was the printable version of the wiki page, and then threw this into an editor to tweak the headings and such.

Hi all,
Heads up to the other editors preparing the mailshot:
I see that the LWN.net[1] copy of FWN#162 has some ugly HTML numeric character references. The little upwards arrow[2] which is used on the wikipage to allow readers to jump back to the text seems not to be replaced with a code when it's processed through maillists. Anyone got any ideas of how to get rid of this? All I can think of was using vim to manually find the hex for the multibyte character (positioned cursor over up-arrow and did a :ga and got 2191 as the hex code) and then substituting over the entire file using a: % s/CTRL-v u 2191//g
It's no biggie, but I'd rather not have an extra editing step if anyone can suggest something automated.

The arrows are correctly rendered in FWN 161 for me, how does that one look for you, Oisin?

What I'm seeing with Firefox-3.0.6 (same as used for previous report) right now are question marks "?" where the up-arrows should be. Not as deranged looking as the numeric character references, but still not nice.
Good night,
