Hi guys,

I promise not to ask another question here for the next few days, but I just had to get an opinion on this

:

What's the best doctype and charset to use for creating Kindle-compliant mobi files? I'm thinking of using XHTML Strict and ISO 8859-1.

Will this be compliant, and will it be able to handle named character entities (— et al)? My validation has come up clean, but I'm never sure what to make of charsets and the associated dtd stuff.

Any help would be great :-D
