Plugging content into a website is the most monotonous part of web design. Most of the time its apple-c from word, apple-v to html, Rinse Repeat. One secret weapon though is to use a converter for the text so that all the garbled up entities from word don’t slip into your html.

This HTML UTF-8 Entity Encoder is what we use to make sure that our text is clean when we drop it in the HTML.

Just paste your text in, convert, copy the clean text and paste that in your html doc. That simple.

And, since most discussions about CSS and JavaScript (at least the ones that I am having) also concern this variable nature, I’m coining (maybe I’m the first) a new term to put all of this into a handy little phrase, “Cross-Browser Consistency,” or, in typical programmer fashion, simply, “XBC.”

Let’s take a brief moment to establish a more exact meaning for this phrase. As you may well be aware, the industry commonly talks about cross-browser support, so we’ll differentiate between support and consistency, as well as defining what cross-browser really means, and some other tidbits as to boot.
