No real relation with the current subject... sorry :-(
(still a little ;-)
I just bought a (french) book about (french) ponctuation: history, usage, etc.
Very interesting, but... it is told about characters

that people used centuries ago but which have today disappeared. Does someone
know what is for instance a fly-foot (in french: "pied-de-mouche" where "mouche"
which I have translated by "fly" is the little insect). It was used to mark a
separation between twn paragraphs when copists didn't have enoug place on their
page to write a real paragraph. Is their an URL where I could see images of the
old punctuation characters ?
Sorry to have disturbed the list :-(
