Actually, I tried it with tidy's utf-8 command line option but I got question marks instead of the á é etc. entities. I can't use tidy at all, no matter which one I choose. Do you think utf-8 has still advantages even if I can use each necessary character with iso-8859-2? If it's reasonable I will use utf-8 but I CC'd the related lists for further discussion. For those, who don't know what is it about, please read this: http://bsdblogs.droso.org/gabor/2006/08/31/charset-issues/ Actually, I only need a few special characters: á é í ó ú ö ü o with double acute u with double acute And the capitalized forms of them. -- Cheers, Gabor
