<H1>Replace Entities</H1>
<P>Once upon a time, some guys invented ASCII. As these guys have been
Americans, they did not care (or probably not even know) about the
rest of the world and said: "128 different characters are enough." So,
nowadays you still can't write and read a simple german umlaut within
different computer systems.</P>
<P>But, thank god, the guys who perpetrated html, after about 30 years
of a computer world without working umlauts, provide a solution to
this tricky problem: Instead of typing "&Uuml;", simply write
<CODE>&amp;Uuml;</CODE>. Congratulations, what a great idea! 7 bit
rulez!</P>
<p>So as consequence of this prehistoric {beep}, <KBD>hsc</KBD> can replace
special characters in the hsc-source with its entities in the
html-object. You just need to enable the <A
HREF="../options.html">RPLCENT</A> switch. </P>
<P><STRONG>Note:</STRONG>This only works for special
characters that have been defined with <A HREF="prefs.html#defent"><CODE>&lt;$defent&gt;</CODE></A> in
<I>hsc.prefs</I></P>
