Hi,
I have certain blocks of Spanish text, for example
=BFNecesita agregar una impresora o copiadora adicional a su forma
personalizada de orden? Presione aqu=ED.
Don't know if the backwards question mark and the accented "i" came
through, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a site where I could
cut and paste the above and it would spit back the corresponding html
codes (e.g. {) for the appropriate Spanisn symbols.
Thanks for any advice, - Dave

With UTF-8 you could write all those chars literarily without any
character references.

And with iso-8859-1, the common default (more or less), if you don't
mind having to do something special with curly quotation marks.
And you can load a Spanish keyboard setting, or the US International
keyboard setting, or (best of all) the Finnish multinational keyboard
setting, in order to be able to type the characters conveniently (e.g.,
using the AltGr key).
Of course, many of the common resources for iso-8859-1 contains the
references you can use, if that's really what you want. Even the HTML
specifications have them.

I see the inverted question mark, but no accents.
One could easily be written, e.g. by yourself. A TEXTAREA for input, a
BUTTON, a TEXTAREA for output, and a series of RegExps, acting on the
content of the first area and writing to the second.
DEMO : ake a copy of my <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-
quick.htm>; put ¿Que? in F.X0, F.X1.value = F.X0.value.replace(/¿/g,
"{") in the textarea, press Eval, and read F.X1. Then copy F.X1
to the textarea, press HTML, and observe that it's not { that you
need (it's ¿).
It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.

If you are going to go that route, write it in Perl and take advantage
of the HTML::Entities module. No need to write all those regexen.
