table to handle this allowing user's to add, delete or
modify what's converted. Tony could then simply remove
the apostrophe conversion.
My big /W issue is the inability to use both underline
and italics simultaneously. If I use the underline version
of the DP executable and try to add italics by imbedding
the HTML codes (<i></i>), the greater than, less than
characters get converted to > and <. Also, if I manual
insert an HTML character string like © or © (for the copyright
symbol), the apostrophes get converted.
A user defined translation table should support more than
single character strings so you could, as an example, convert
... (three periods) into an horizontal ellipsis or <i> into <i> (to
leave unmodified).
The release notes on the /W options state "characters above
128 are converted to the equivalent Latin character set
characters". I may misunderstand this but an é (acute e)
entered as ALT+130 is not converted to an é (or
anything).
As long as I'm wishing, I'd still love to see internal character
string support increase from 78 to at least 255 characters.

Hi Tony,
If you are using HTML bold tags then why would't you want the apostrophes
conforming?

Brian,
Thanks. A bit of a dilemma since by not using ;;w then you lose Dataperfect
bolding conversion.

Hi Tony,
That I believe is by design... The /w combined with the ;;w output switch
converts the standard XML entity characters into their entity value so
& -> &
< -> <
> -> >
' -> '
" -> "
If you do not want this conversion do not use the ;;w output indicator

Hi everyone,
Can someone shed some light as to why this is happening and how to get
around it?
Thanks in advance
Ton
