For my website: http://www.fonteintje-diepenbeek.be/kaarten/bridge.html
, I'd like to use symbols for playingcards in HTML-editor 2010 SE build 369.

I found the Markup library file: "html-entities.conf" and succeeded to define the four cardsymbols without any problem:

"spades","♠","schoppen"
"hearts","♥","zwarte harten"
"clubs","♣","klaveren"
"diamonds","♦","zwarte ruiten"


The only thing is that I have to select "Use numbered entities" in the "Characters" tab, otherwise it shows the codename '&diamonds;' instead of the cardsymbol.

For the other symbols: '♠', '♥' and '♣' I can use also the standard setting: "Use named entities" to see the right symbols.

Maybe I'm using a wrong name for 'diamonds' (I'm Dutch speaking, we call it 'ruiten')?
Does somebody know what's wrong with '&diamonds;'
