NAME¶
wml::fmt::isolatin - ISO-Latin-1 to HTML Entity Conversion
SYNOPSIS¶
#use wml::fmt::isolatin [global]
<isolatin>
Text with ISO latin 1 characters
for instance german umlauts: ``oeaeueOeAeUess''
</isolatin>
DESCRIPTION¶
This creates an area substitution with Pass 6 (asubst) for all ISO-Latin-1
characters to their corresponding HTML entities. Note that this is not really
necessary because HTML 3.2 states that every browser has to understand
ISO-Latin-1 characters. So there is no real need to encode them with this
container tag. But it is safe, because the result is 7Bit which can be
transferred over more mediums then the 8 Bit version with ISO-Latin-1
characters.
When adding the "global" argument, the complete document gets
automatically encapsulated into a "<isolatin>" container.
