I too confirm that not using named entities is a wise decision, as they are not going along with a couple of Reading Systems.
(Also, named entities can be converted into numeric entities with 5 lines of Python, for example.) |

I remember that I personally saw some problems with Onyx devices due to an earlier version of crengine not supporting them; they later fixed the issue. Plus, on a non-RS side, I run into a similar problem with a tool for R/W EPUB in a plugin for a CMS.
I admit: it is not a common problem, but I would rather be on the conservative side, as long as it can be done "cheaply". |

Kobo Vendor Gudie and Special Characters
It is buried in their sketchy vendor guide (attached). Page 5 in one of the lists. I think the reason is once everyone moves to EPUB3 and HTML5, decimal is the standard, not character entities.

Pedantic comment: in that document, they use the term "decimal entities", but I guess they meant "numeric entities" (i.e., decimal or hexadecimal) --- as I rememeber some of their examples containing hexadecimal entities.

Good point. Specifications tend to use their own terms. I guess decimal and numeric mean the same thing!
