mezzoblue on HTML and Foreign Languages

Written by Patrick Hall, April 25th, 2006

I suppose it’s rather odd to post a link to an article that’s 3 years old, but marking up content so that it contains information about the language that content is written in is one of those topics that take a long time to really spread around the web. And a good blog post is hard to find (and, *cough*, to write), so check this one out:

mezzoblue § HTML and Foreign Languages

Even though it was written in 2003, I think Dave Shea hits a lot of key points here. The only place where I would be be a bit more strict than he is (as anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis will know), is I would never want to send out anything that isn’t in UTF-8 and clearly marked as such.

Maybe I’m obsessive. ☺
