Thread: UTF-8 for SGML docs?
Hi, Is it possible to use UTF-8 for SGML docs? I would like to enhance the full text search docs, especially table 12-1, which includes ASCII and LATIN1 examples only. I find that word, numword alias etc. allow not only LATIN characters but Asian ones. This fact is not stated in the doc, and I'm afraid this might discourage Japanese users to use the full text search. For this I think I would like to add Japanese examples in the table by using UTF-8 encoding for the doc text. -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan

No :-(. We've been through this already, see discussions awhile back
about spelling non-English names correctly. Unless there's a recognized
HTML entity for the character, you can't use it.

So I will just add a comment that Japanese can be used too for word etc. -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan
