Hi Rui,
I ran into a problem in the code. The line for the humidity unit had the % sign used. however this goes wrong. (The code thinks that all code belongs to a placeholder after that sign?). I solved it bij placing a dubble %% sign. although I have no idea if this is the correct way, but it worked.

<sup class="units">%</sup> original

<sup class="units">%%</sup> corrected

kind regards,
Vincent Kievits

Hi.

You can replace the % with the corresponding HTML entity. So, replace your % sign with the following:
%percent;

Shouldn’t that be “%&percnt;”?

Hi.

I’m sorry.

The HTML entity was automatically converted.
You can copy it from here:

It is somewhat difficult to post an html entity into a forum post that uses HTML 😉
