Atrribute Group:   HTML
Atrribute Purpose:   HTML export encoding
Attribute Inherited from Preferences?     No
Attribute Read-Only?   No

When 'true', characters like ampersands and accented characters are converted into HTML entities, i.e. & becomes &.

Added the degree symbol to the characters turned into entities. Swiss, French and German quote styles are automatically detected and 'entified' without needing to resort to this setting.

Export markup elements, e.g ^value()^, check this attribute before encoding values.

English typographic quotation marks “ ” and ‘ ’ are exported as HTML entities rather than straight quotes, e.g. “ for “ left curly double quotes.

The symbol € is exported as €.

Δ is exported as Δ, δ as δ, μ as μ and ∑ as ∑.

The move to UTF-8 encoded export since version 5 has lessened the need to this setting.
