Do control characters validate?

This is a C-d: {bad character} right there.

Here is it wrapped up in code: {bad character} and plain {bad character} <-- there.

This may or may not validated.

No, it's not. To quote the validator on excluded characters:

(0 to 31 inclusive and 127 to 159 inclusive)

(but we want to skip tab & newline.) Steal badchars from the comments module I think.

See http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/latin1.html and http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/%7Eflavell/charset/

Also in a <pre> block, for completeness:

This should be C-d right here: {bad character} <-- there.
Multiple in a <pre>: {bad character}{bad character}{bad character} .
And this is done.

Okay, this is a test of several: {bad characters} done.

This will come out as preformatted text (although not text/plain; it is
still wrapped with the HTML framing and all that). Call it a convenient
way to put up code and other plaintext content without having to indent
the entire file.

Which would be ... kind of annoying. (Perhaps more than kind of annoying.)
This does escape < and & and so on, including things like:
</pre>

You know I really can't remember the rules that HTML uses to parse the
whole thing. I am still vaguely boggled that <textarea> doesn't hork
its shoes when some clever bugger puts a </textarea> in the whole thing.
(Maybe I will experiment with TWO of them. Who knows!)

Don't ask right now.

• This is a test.
  Of the indented list show.
  • Of the indented list show.
    • more.
      • more more!
      1. Motto!
  1. And now a ... CHANGE!

     How about an

     interior <dl>? With a <dd> of course.
     Huh? How's that?

  Maybe this will

  look nice.

  • Does it work right?
  And not any more.

Okay, here we go.

• Another test.
  • And again.

Cite test.

• What is generated ...

For another cite inside a list?

• It looks like we can't nest blockquotes inside lists, which means that I win.
  • No, really, I win BIG.

Although the fomatting is going to give me a headache.
