Go west
Paradise is there
You'l have all that you can eat
Of milk & honey over there
(Natalie Merchant, "San Andreas Fault")
Once upon a time, some guys invented ASCII. As these guys have been Americans, they did not care (or probably not even know) about the rest of the world and said: "128 different characters are enough." So, nowadays you still can't write and read a simple german umlaut within different computer systems.
But, thank god, the guys who perpetrated html, after
about 30 years of a computer world without working umlauts,
provide a solution to this tricky problem: Instead of typing
"Ü", simply write Ü
. Congratulations,
what a great idea! 7 bit rulez!
So as consequence of this prehistoric {beep}, hsc can replace special characters in the hsc-source with its entities in the html-object. You just need to enable the RPLCENT switch.
Note:This only works for special
characters that have been defined with <$defent>
in
hsc.prefs
