AW: special characters - Unicode

2001-12-19 Thread Beer, Christian

Hello Matthias,

it is a better idea to write in english ;-)

I think you understood that right. As I understood that you have two 
opportunities:
decimal &#;
hex &#x;

Jetzt habe ich ihn verstanden: Es könnte sein, wir lesen aus einer Tabelle
dezimale Unicode-Werte aus und stellen sie in FO als hexadezimale Werte dar.
Kann das sein?

I had the same problem until I figured out what I was doing wrong. I'm
guessing that you're looking up the Unicode values of special characters and
then displaying them. The problem (that I had at least) was that if you're
not careful you might use the wrong expression. As you might already know
you can use either &#; or &#x; the difference being that in the
second expression ??? is a hexadecimal value as opposed to the decimal value
used by the first expression. When I started playing around with the special
characters I tried using the second expression with decimal Unicode values
for characters and not surprisingly I always got a "#" back. I'm not sure if
this is the same problem that you have.

An alternative would be to format the item label as "Symbol" and to assign
it the value · :

Q u e s t i o n :   I tried Vladimir's solution and, of course, it works. I
tried other Unicode value, but I got always # as a result. Does anybody know
of any restrictions to Unicode in FOP?

Hi Matt,

Here's how I usually use bullet points:


•
SOME BULLET POINT TEXT IN
HERE



As you can see from the example all you need to do to create a bullet point
is to use • in the place where you want it to appear. Hope this
helps,

Vlad

You need to take the decimal unicode encoding. Try •  for a bullet. Check
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/basic_latin.html for other codes.
