Description

In HTML, the character entity Á is called a combining diacritical because of the way it combines a letter 'A' with a diacritical 'acute'. Most diacriticals can be combined with several letters (eg É. However, it's also legal HTML for the diacritical to be a hex character code, as in &A#x0301;. TiddlyWiki doesn't currently support this.

I've looked into this and HTML entities are atomic, not combining diacriticals. That is Aacute is a distinct entity called "Aacute", not a combination of the "A" and "acute" entities. There is no HTML entity called "A#x0301" and no combination &A#x0301;
