Someone (Wm. Annis I think) recently recommended http://www.htmlhelp.com/
where I learned that s-caron can be represented as either & Scaron; or &
353; (cap.), & scaron or & 352; (lc)--  is this correct? (Properly, no space
after the &).  I know that &# 154; doesn't work always. (it works on my
browser, but Validator said no-no)
