Problem with special characters

[sren]

I'm building a spanish site, and have a line like this:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Paginas</h2>' );?>

But in spanish "Paginas" isn't right, it should be "P&aacute;ginas" instead, in order to read "Páginas".

Now, the "&aacute" seems to break the CSS styles, and the fonts from this line is beeing displayed bigger.

Do I have a way to display the special character inside that PHP line?

Thanks a lot.

You could always try using the character numeric code of &#225;

This looks like a WordPress function, no? I suspect that WP is parsing out entities or something and not allowing them because, from a normal PHP perspective, there's no reason your code shouldn't work.

Try using <h1 lang="es"> ..... </h1>
