LinuxDoc-Tools User's Guide: Internationalization Support

5. Internationalization Support

The ISO 8859-1 (latin1) character set may be used for international characters in plain text, LaTeX, HTML, LyX, and RTF output (GNU info support for ISO 8859-1 may be possible in the future). To use this feature, give the formatting scripts the ``--charset=latin'' flag, for example:


% linuxdoc -B txt --charset=latin foo.sgml

You also can use ISO 8859-1 characters in the SGML source, they will automatically be translated to the proper escape codes for the corresponding output format.

Currently, EUC-JP (ujis) character set is partially supported. Source SGML file using this character set can be converted in plain text, HTML, and LaTeX. Other output formats are not tested fully.
