Let's try that again. I typed it correctly and it posted the Euro sign (duh).
Here's how to do it: Type an ampersand ( & ), then the word euro (lowercase) and then a semicolon. No spaces.

Betsy, I see the ♥ but not the &heart; (It _has_ to be ♥ As to why the semi-colons... That's part of the HTML standard as I understand it... All that's changed now, is that fodors isn't changing &'s to &'s (Meaning they aren't entity encoding the amps _if_ they follow a certain pattern.)
Here's more info:

That's probably more helpful than the one I posted before...
One thing I kind of don't like is how in the edit, ' (single quotes) are being converted to ''s upon edit. It displays fine... Maybe there's nothing they can do about that... I wonder.

You're right, Bob. It was posted months ago, but when Fodors did all the upgrades a few weeks ago, the capacity to do the € was lost. Bozo figured out how to do it again. Let's rejoice!

What do others see on my above post?
I see a euro sign and a y below it.
I got the euro sign by typing opt-shift-2 and the y by typing & euro ; (without the spaces)
Does it make a difference if you enter/read on a Mac or on a PC?

<font color="#0000ff">Possibly.</font> (It <i>might</i> make a difference <u>if</u> you're on a Mac. But, <b>if</b> you aren't... It looks like there is some limited HTML support that they've added. It's rather... finicky. For instance you can't do a <FONT SIZE="5">font and make an <b>enormous</b> font. But, OTOH, perhaps that is by design. So far, looks like you can do <b>Bold (<B> )</b>, <u>Underline (<U> )</u>, <i>Italic (<I> )</i>, <s>Strikethrough (<S> )</s>, and <font color="#007f00">Font colors (<FONT COLOR="#{hexcolor}"> )</font> (Where font color is something like what's in here: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/...e/color_codes/
)
I'm sure there are others. But... It's pretty finicky. If it doesn't like <b>anything</b> it then escapes all the <'s and >'s, and it just appears as raw HTML.
I guess, so I can make <font color="#ff0000">red ♥s...</font>
