 Details of the conversions are stored in the ''[[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/conf/entities.conf|conf/entities.conf]]'' file. To avoid your changes being overwritten when upgrading Dokuwiki, you should place your own additions in a new file called ''conf/entities.local.conf''.
-If you need to //disable// some of the default conversions you could do it by adding only the pattern and //not// a replacement to ''conf/entities.local.conf''.

-Even though by default it is used with simple character replacements only, the entity system can also be used to insert more complex constructs into your pages. This includes HTML. However you should be aware that doing so is bound to break when used in combination with non-HTML renderers (like [[plugin:ODT]] for example). It is recommended to use UTF-8 characters instead whenever possible.
