days who had a need for that.
And thanks for your thoughts on the special chars. As I mentioned in my
other email a few minutes ago, I'll be adding support for that, I just
need to think it through a bit more. It seems like it would be nice to
have them automatically appear in the navigation, but that means losing
control over how many things are in the nav, and therefore how wide it
will be on the page (which could result in wrapping). One idea is to
lump them into an "other" listnav item, but that doesn't seem very good,
either. Another is to add a new row to the nav for dynamically adding
nav links for special chars. Or the "other" could be a dropdown (but
then it's items are out of view, which reduces the ability to quickly
visually scan the list).
Offhand, I don't know if there's an easy way (or whether it really makes
sense logically to a user) to "degrade" chars to their nearest neighbor.
I don't know enough about other languages to know.
Thanks,
Jack
