HTML Special Characters Helper v1.6

I’d like to announce the official release of the updated HTML Special Characters Helper plugin (v1.6) for WordPress.

Admin widget on the Write Post page for inserting HTML encodings of special characters into the post.

Recommended major compatibility update. Highlights: JS/CSS handling tweaks; misc non-functionality tweaks; noted compatibility with WP 3.0+.

For more details, instructions, screenshots, and the download link, visit the plugin’s official homepage at :

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
