The problem with commenting out only that loop is you remove the first
96 entries only from the myToList and myNumFromList lists, but not
from myTextFromList. As a result, this latter list will no longer
line up with the other two, so none of your text-based SGML entities
will be translated properly, not even those in the bottom half of the
character set. What you'd really need to do is set
myTextFromString = " ";
and add entries to myToList and myNumFromList for 160, so that at
least that entity is handled from the upper half, and all the bottom
half translations line up. If you could set it up to do this only for
htsearch, and not for htdig, that might be better, because then you
wouldn't give up the translation of the other SGML entities. Mind you,
if your results aren't encoded in ISO-8859-1 anyway, maybe it's just as
well you don't translate the others because they won't display as the
right characters in the output.
Ultimately, the best solution is to go with full Unicode support for
internal encodings, and map all other charset encodings in indexed
documents to Unicode. Then, we could do away with all of this locale
nonsense which has been a source of so many problems. However, that
would be a huge undertaking, and right now no one seems to be up to
the challenge.
