[Tb] HTMLEntities and ^encode

We really do prefer to do tech support in email,=20
or ichat, or through the wiki. Among other=20
things, this avoids boring everybody with threads=20
of routine clarifications.

- - - -

Let's say I have a note with the following text,=20
which contains three "special" characters:

        =C5ngstrom & G=F6del

When exporting to HTML, we normally need to=20
translate three of these characters to HTML=20
entities.

        =C5 becomes Å
        & becomes &
        =F6 becomes ö

And that's exactly what ^text^ exports by default.

        <p>&Aring;ngstrom &amp; G&ouml;del</p>

If I don't want this conversion, I can turn off HTMLEntities. I'll get

        <p>=C5ngstrom & Godel</p>

Note that, even if HTMLEntities is true,=20
Tinderbox does *not* convert '<' and '>' to their=20
respective entities unless HTMLQuoteHTML is also=20
set; this ensures that embedded HTML will work as=20
expected.
