Phil is currently curious as to why posts he's making from his client that should be private, aren't private at all... sorry to take up your time and space with me trying to make my client able to post ampersands :)

Eeeek! That's one of my secret worries...that LJ will have a glitch which exposes all private entries.

This is why you only use clients that have been tested to death and not shoddy ones written and not tested prperly by me :)

Yeah, I selected all posts to be automatically "friends only" and none are...

But what I want, is for the process to be invisible to the end user. I don't want to have the user need to know HTML escapes in order to be able to post this stuff...

Oh sorry I thought you meant using the standard one.

Why not parse the input first and if it hits a common non-alphanumeric character then convert the character to the relevant HTML?

Gotta love coding :)
