"with another as ‘reservist’' evocatus."
i would like to know the meaning of "&lsquo".

Hey Martynas,
Which browser do you use? I don't have that problem when I look at the page.
Re: What is the meaning of "&lsquo", "&rd - Enclave - 12-06-2006
Sorry, but it is hard to tell about the browser ( i am not very interested in that stuff and terms ), but is this "error" made by programs, browsers and etc. i have ?

Hi Martynas,
It is possible that this error is caused by your browser which does not correctly interpret the html code in the page, yes.
Is it Firefox or Internet Explorer?

Basically, your browser is not reading the page correctly.
The text in question is HTML code.
I might be wrong, but I think ‘ is left straight quotation mark,
’ ist right straight quotation mark. The others are code for other quotation marks, maybe?

Hi Martynas,
You could try updating your internet explorer. Under Help-> About you can find the version. It should be 6.something.
Re: What is the meaning of "&lsquo", "&rd - Enclave - 12-06-2006
Well, my internet explorer version is 6.0.290..... and the newest acrobat reader... and still no changes, the same. I think it is writen what i see :roll: . I just need the translation...

Greetings,
I occasionally get that sort of thing cropping up on IE6, can't remember if Firefox does it too.... I think it sometimes happens when a foreign language is being used and it does not translate properly...
At times, I also thought the word was 'unsuitable' and replaced by gobbledegook..... :?
regards
Arthes

“ = "
” = "
The page just wants to show the fancy ones that curve left and right, but for some reason it isn't. Those aren't words, they're just part of the page code. So the translation for both is "
’ = '

Maybe i should try to update my windows?
Re: What is the meaning of "&lsquo", "&rd - Dan Diffendale - 12-10-2006
That might work. Can you post the link to the site? Then we could see if it's just a problem with that particular site or not...
