It all began because I didn't want to type “ and ” for the stuff that I write in my own portal, that and the need to memorise entity numbers for "…", and "—", while still maintaining some semblance to the actual plain text of the pages while being displayed on text-only browsers like elinks and lynx.
That made me use a total of 3 hours to hack up a Javascript thing to get the job done. Most of that time was spent in wondering what the magical incantations were to do a DOM traversal. Then the 30 minutes was to fix the bug that Internet Explorer was demonstrating.
So, it is done. Ugh. Back to work from the diversion.
