Re: embedded html in a table row

The DOM works on unicode strings, it doesn't contain HTML markup.
Go to the HTML 4.0 specification at www.w3.org and find out what
the unicode character is for the degrees symbol and insert that
in you text string.

This should also be a constant in org.enhydra.xml.io.HTMLEntities.
