Omar, If you want to selectively convert some characters to html entities, you could use the BBEdit Canonize command: Menu 'Text' > 'Canonize ...' with a canonize file in the form:
``` # -*- x-bbedit-canon-case-sensitive: 1; x-bbedit-canon-match-words: 0; x-bbedit-canon-grep: 1; -*- À \À Á \Á ... ``` See the BBEdit manual for more info on the Canonize command. On each line put a character and its entity separated by a *TAB.* Here is an example for latin diacritics <https://gist.github.com/mixio/5ceb75053406d4c668103f859ce6ad02> that you can edit at your convenience.
