Hi
Does anyone know when/if the CSS pseudo class a:hover and z-index
property is planned. I see they're listed as 'not started' at the
moment.
Thanks

There is no plan. Please note that this does not mean we do not intend
to implement it. Currently, we are working on other things and our
free time short.

New subject: Mysterious hex C2 AD
Just looked at the site www.world-science.net
Netsurf renders much of its text with inter-syllable sequences Â
which, in the original HTML, are all hex C2 AD.
Is this legitimate HTML perhaps for automatic hyphenation or
something? Should Netsurf edit it out? Firefox does.
Whilst HTML entity 슭 seems to be valid,
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/c2ad/index.htm
tell us that U+C2AD is not a valid unicode character.
Any idea what's going on?

This is utf-8 for "soft hyphen". Netsurf isn't handling this encoding
it seems - which is intended to give a hint to a browser as to how a word
could be split across a line boundary as in printing hyphenation. If there
is no need to break across a line boundary then the hyphen should be
silently ignored - as does Firefox.

I'm sorry to say that all of the different 'encodings' on that web
document are generated on the fly as the document is being served -
auto-magically - but blindly. If the code is not valid as a Unicode then
that is it - allbets are off! The utf-8 is the correct encoding for the
Unicode code point U+00AD - try looking at

What version of NetSurf? In Page -> Info, what does Encoding say?
NetSurf doesn't support soft hyphens but it should be displaying these as
regular hyphens. What you're seeing seems to show that it isn't interpreting
that page as UTF-8 correctly.

Page -> Info does say "Encoding: UTF-8 (from <meta>)", and, yes, r6772
displays them as regular hyphens (my original question arose from an
earlier release). So I suppose it comes down to asking whether there
are plans for NetSurf to handle soft hyphens like other browsers.
Thanks for the info.
