Re: [Templates] html quoting

Hi Steve,

I don't have experience with your particular problem, however, a common fix for "named" symbols is to use their numeric equivalent.

If you look up something like "times html entities" on google you should be able to find the numeric equivalent and maybe fix your problem.

I believe the ones for times is:
×

I got that from here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html
or for a nicer table:
