Diacritics in email....

[Daniel Say say@xxxxxxxx]

		However, if the recipient is
	reading with email with a web browser then often
	the HTML codes listed below, might be useful instead.

	For those of us with CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean) reader
	sets, these emails using upper ascii characters show up
	as Chinese characters, but we've learned to read around
	them or turn off the interpreter.

	It is better to use the Xywrite single byte codes but
	it all depends on the recipients reader.

	A simple SPL program or subsitution program, even a
	revised MAIL.PRN translation on output should be
	able to switch back and forth between the HTML and the
	'proper' diacritics.

"  Diacritics
" 
"  If you want language diacritics to be displayed correctly in HTML, you
"  must use the character entities. Many HTML editors will automatically
"  translate language diacritics produced by your keyboard to their
"  appropriate entity, but it's always useful to remember them in case
"  you have to edit your HTMLs "manually." To see a complete list of
"  these entities in a new browser window, select this link:
"  [1]Entities.html.
" 
"  Here are the diacritics for Spanish, French and German:
"     French      German      Spanish
"  Character  HTML  Character HTML  Character  HTML
"    à   à   ü   ü   á   á
"    è   è   ö   ö   é   é
"    ì   ì   ä   ä   í   í
"    ò   ò   ß   ß   ó   ó
"    ù   ù   Ä   Ä   ú   ú
"    á   á   Ü   Ü   ü   ü
"    é   é   Ö   Ö   Á   Á
"    í   í            É   É
"    ó   ó            Í   Í
"    ú   ú            Ó   Ó
"    ç   ç            Ú   Ú
"    ô   ô            Ü   Ü
"    À   À            ñ   ñ
"    È   È            Ñ   Ñ
"    Ì   Ì            ¿   ¿
"    Ò   Ò            ¡   ¡
"    Ù   Ù
"    Á   Á

"   * Inserting a META tag:
"    When working on an HTML document, you may be able to type
"    diacritics by using key combinations in your keyboard. For this
"    reason, it is very important to include this  tag somewhere
"    between the  and the  of your HTML document:
"        
"   
"    Because the HTML document may lack some of the HTML codes for
"    them, if you don't include this tag, the browser may display your
"    directly typed characters as "garbage," i.e., instead of your
"    diacritical characters, you will see little boxes and other
"    unwanted symbols on your final web page.
"    Remember, then, that it is good practice to check for the presence
"    of that  tag in all your documents so that your pages
"    correctly display your diacritics to any user.
"   
"   * Typing Diacritics:
"    On a PC, you can type language diacritics in basically any program
"    by setting your keyboard layout to US-International. This feature
"    is accessible from the Control Panel. You will probably be
"    required to install this option from the original
"    Windows/Windows95 diskettes. Once it is installed, this keyboard
"    layout does not change the English keys, but gives you the added
"    possibility of typing language diacritics directly into your
"    documents. These are the key combinations for language diacritics
"    using the US-International keyboard layout:
"   
"  Acute accents: Ctrl + ' , vowel
"  Grave accents: Ctrl + , vowel
"  Dieresis: Shift + " , vowel
"  Circumflex accents: Shift + ^, vowel
"  Eñe: Ctrl + Alt , n
"  C cedilla: Ctrl + Alt, ,
"  ß: Ctrl + Alt, s
"  Inverted question mark: Ctrl + ?
"  Inverted exclamation point: Ctrl + Alt, 1
" 
"  
"    Macintosh machines have this feature already built in their
"    keyboards, so you just need to know the key strokes to type
"    diacritics:
"   
"  Acute accents: Option + e , vowel
"  Grave accents: Option + ` , vowel
"  Dieresis: Option + u, vowel
"  Circumflex accents: Option + !, vowel
"  Eñe: Option + n, n
"  C cedilla: Option + c
"  ß: Option + s
"  Inverted question mark: Option + Shift, ?
"  Inverted exclamation pint: Option + 1
