wml::fmt::isolatin(3)
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 transfered 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.
