Hello,

As some of you may have noticed, this group is not yet visible in the web
newsgroup view.  The reason is that I know there will be problems with the
support of some languages.  In particular those who don't use the ISO 8859-1
character set.  While I can come up with solutions to work with all Latin
and Cyrillic characters, I have no idea how to convert Japanese characters
in "ISO 2022-jp" to meaningful HTML.  I think the problems would be similar
for Chinese and Korean conversion to HTML.

What I am looking for is some links or other sources with technical
descriptions how to convert such encodings to HTML.  Of course these would
have to be in English...


    Thorsten

Can't you inline unicode codes within HTML in ISO-8859-1? 
Charset can be displayed _on_ the page and when content is not
readable than user haven't instaled proper font.
All you need is here http://www.unicode.org/charts/
I don't know if there are conversion tables but I tested it some time
ago and I used swedish unicode chars within polish charset properly.

How about deciding what charset to use depending on the information from the 
browser, so don't have a fixed charset for those html pages but have a variable
that you get from the browser, and in absence default to ISO 8859-1. 

When I run a simple bit of perl script I get some interesting info. 

HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET = iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE = en

The code:

  foreach $key (sort keys %ENV) {
         print $key, " = ", $ENV{$key}, br;
      }

But I suppose you already know about this kind of stuff.

  Perhaps it should be deleted.
