Research direction
Inspect the archived page at http://scripting.com/outlinersProgramming.html, starting with its HTTP headers and HTML source to determine where the text encoding is missing. The work is done when the quotation marks render correctly in current browsers without manually selecting Mac OS Roman encoding.

Description
Hi Dave, I saw your post the other day linking to your page Outliners & Programming. Great read, thanks!
Small issue on that page: I noticed that the quotation marks in the phrase “the halceon days are yet to come.” do not render correctly in my browsers.
- On Firefox (Mac), it renders as
Òthe halceon days are yet to come.Ó - On Safari (Mac), it renders as
�the halceon days are yet to come.�- If I manually switch Safari to use the Mac OS Roman text encoding, the quotes render correctly as
“the halceon days are yet to come.”
- If I manually switch Safari to use the Mac OS Roman text encoding, the quotes render correctly as
It looks like neither the HTTP headers nor the HTML code specify the text encoding:
$ curl --head "http://scripting.com/outlinersProgramming.html"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
