- 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.

- Have fun,
