Обсуждение: Adding caron to usernames in release notes
I just noticed from the commit logs that Pavel's name is spelled Pavel
Stěhule. That mark above the e is a caron, and is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%9A
Can anyone suggest how to get that into the release notes, considering
that we are limited to HTML4 entities in the SGML?

Pavel, if you would prefer some other 'e' character we can use, please let me know. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
