html question (special sorts)
Jul. 31st, 2003 10:26 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
lobelia321Have written fic with Maltese in it. The Maltese script has various diacritical marks that my keyboard cannot produce and for which I do not know the html &; thingie.
Does anyone know a site which lists html special letters?
Or can anyone tell me how to make:
- an 'h' with a diagonal slash through it?
- a 'z' with a dot on top?
- a 'g' with a dot on top?

Date: 2003-08-01 02:02 am (UTC)Am reading the Iliad. Don't know how close they are keeping to Homer in their script but interaction Hector/Paris is *delicious*. (Eric = Hector, right?)

Date: 2003-08-01 09:31 am (UTC)As for the script - I'm not sure how much they're keeping to Homer, either, but my understanding from B. (who read the script for work) is that the three main characters in the film will be Achilles, Hector, and Paris, and I have to believe there will be some excellent Hector/Paris moments... *quiver*

Date: 2003-08-02 11:27 am (UTC)Right - no gods or goddesses in the film (one of the reasons I said I don't know how close they're sticking to Homer; I'm guessing that much of the structure is still there, but much of the details are changed. But I'm only guessing, because B. had the script while I was in England, so I wasn't able to read it for myself.)
I'm hoping for some major Patroclus action
The 'beloved cousin' (another change for the movie!) does, I believe, get his big moments in the film.
How well do you know this legend? Can I say *anything* about it or will I spoiler?
I know it pretty well; have read both The Iliad and The Odyssey, though that was years and years ago and I'm sure some of my detailing is off. But go ahead!

Date: 2003-08-02 01:27 pm (UTC)Er. Am all tongue-tied now.
Patroclus as cousin!!! Heresy! Right. I'm already pissed off with stupid Petersen. Cousin! *spits on floor in disgust* That just turns his death into sentimental Hollywood drivel and not into the soultearing anguish it ought to be! I mean, who goes on a killing rampage for a *cousin*? It's so LAME!
One thing I like about the Iliad is the Paris/Hector dynamic. The way Paris is a bit of a nancy boy -- or at least Hector keeps telling Paris that he is and berating him for escaping with Helen into his "perfumed bedchamber" (woohoo, are we going to see Orlicurly *fucking* action?? because there is Orli/Helen shagfest in Homer!). Hector finally storms into said bedchamber and finds Paris polishing his armour. When Paris finally goes out to battle, he prances out like a foal, all proud of how splendid he looks in his shiny new gear. But, otoh, he does battle like a tiger at the side of Hector and later Hector apologises for his words. So it's quite a subtle fraternal relationship.
God knows if they'll be able to rescue that for the movie.

Oh, but it's his beloved cousin! So that makes it alright.

Yes, I remember this! I have a thing for Orlando/Eric going back to my first Black Hawk Down fic, so I was a bit gleeful when I read about Eric's casting. There's going to be lots of potential for actorslash and character slash from this film, methinks. I keep wanting to start the troyslash community - though someone else may have done so by now.
woohoo, are we going to see Orlicurly *fucking* action??
Within the first twenty minutes, baby. (B. first said it was in the first ten minutes, but then backpedalled a bit and said she wasn't sure, but it was definitely in the first reel.)

Start it, start it! If anyone's the person to do it, it is you! And if you do, I will post my Maltafic to it as an inaugurating story. Maltafic is with beta. I could alert you when it's back. Because it's nice to start a community with a bit of fic fanfare. So if you have one (do you???) and I have one, then that's already a bit of a fanfare. I promise to pimp it everywher! Will you do a community or a yahoo list?
*quiver*

Date: 2003-07-31 04:39 pm (UTC)I tested these on my system with preview and they looked fine. The first item should be the Maltese character, the second is the HTML entity you should use, just copy and paste to your editor.
