This works: "District of St. Francis"

http://www.glquebec.org/tezt.php#District+of+St.+Francis
<a name="District+of+St.+Francis"></a>

This does not: "Montréal District #2"

http://www.glquebec.org/tezt.php#Montr%E9al+District+%232
<a name="Montr%E9al+District+%232"></a>

I'm beginning to see the problem lies with the French character "é". I
don't see it being #. In any case, I cannot change existing fields. How
can I get this working?

I generate the link using urlencode.

if ("" != $mydata->district){
echo " - <a
href=\"#".urlencode($mydata->district)."\">$mydata->district</a></h1>";
}else{
echo "</h1>";
}

The link is named:

echo "<hr size=1><a
name=\"".urlencode($mydata->district)."\"></a><h2>$mydata->district</h2>\n";
