ConvertSelection.app -- FREEWARE -- Aug 17, 1996 ConvertSelection provides a collection of services that convert special characters within a selected range of text, according to self-defineable rules. For instance, you can convert text to HTML format while preparing a web page in Edit, or to 7-Bit ASCII format before sending the text as a plain-text e-mail. Includes on-line help in English, French, and German. ConvertSelection comes with eight predefined conversion services: Convert to HTML Convert to HTML (incl. meta chars) Converts language-specific special characters like umlauts or accented ones to HTML entities. THIS IS THE END OF FIDDLING WITH PANELS OR BROWSERS WHEN ENTERING SPECIAL CHARS INTO YOUR WEB PAGE'S TEXT. Just key-in your text, select it, and convert the special chars contained within to HTML format. Convert from HTML Opposite of the above. Converts &...; strings back to human-readable characters. Convert from ISO-Latin1-encoded Convert from NEXTSTEP-encoded Ever received a mail that shows lots of stray =FC's and =E4's instead of umlauts or accented chars, as well ='s at most line ends? Use one of these two services to convert the stuff back to human-readable form. Convert to Lowercase Convert to Uppercase Does what they say it does. Convert to 7-Bit ASCII Converts German umlauts and sharp 's' to Ae Oe Ue ae oe ue ss. Strips accents from all other language's special chars. Useful to make sure that your language's special chars are at least somehow recognizable on foreign platforms and don't display as whatever character a foreign platform might guess. You can easily modify the conversion rules of these services, add new rules to any of these services, or create entirely new conversion services to your liking. ConvertSelection can convert plain ASCII text selections, RTF text selections, and *** RTFD text selections ***. ConvertSelection (bin & src) is FREEWARE - use it as you see fit.
