Hello,
I'm looking for a program that converts characters of different
encodings (such as EUC-JP, Big5, GB-18030, etc.) into HTML ampersand
escape sequences. Anybody knows where I can find one?
thx.

IIRC Tidy will do that.

Well, yes, but only for character encodings it supports (and it does not
support any of the encodings SwordAngel listed to that extend). Windows
users can compile Tidy with an experimental feature that enables support
for all character encodings Windows / Internet Explorer support via the
TIDY_WIN32_MLANG_SUPPORT #define, but it is generally better to use ex-
ternal tools such as iconv, piconv, uconv, recode, ... to convert the
document to UTF-8 and let Tidy process the document accordingly.

Indeed. I was on the point of suggesting AN XML processor until I saw
that (libxml2 accepts HTML as well as XML input).

Indeed, libxml2 (last time I checked) supports some but not all of
those encodings, so the same limitation applies.
Have you considered tying in iconv to Tidy to improve i18n support?

I believe OpenSP supports all the encodings named, though I'm
not entirely sure OTTOMH. So there may still be a one-stop
program for the conversion. But as Björn says, a transcoder
such as iconv is a more general solution.

I wrote an experimental iconv wrapper which is included in the source
distribution, but it is not plugged into the code, i.e., you need to
change a few things in order to use it. Development of these features
was put on hold until a better interface for pluggable transcoders for
Tidy has been developed (which has not happend yet).
