Perhaps I just can't find it, but is there any way to insert HTML entities (non-breaking space, mdash, bullet, and the like) into text in RED? If I try to install the actual code -- like   -- RED inserts   which, of course, doesn't work.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I can't figure any way to enter true HTML entities into the text. I can certainly insert a Windows character (like alt-0149 for a bullet), but that's not the "right" way to do it. An HTML email should be able to contain true HTML entities, like • for a bullet.

I've already had to write a post-processor application to allow the use of tokens like %something% in <a> tags, so I guess I'll have to expand that app to install HTML entities where they are needed. Seems like a lot of work to accomplish something that should be simple.

Hello James,

You can just find the • (or any other html entity), copy it and paste it in. In the exported code it will be the HTML code. We do have plans to add a list to make this easier.

Hope this helps!
