SGML-Tools User's Guide: Internationalization Support

5. Internationalization Support

The ISO 8859-1 (latin1) character set may be used for international characters in plain text, LaTeX, HTML, LyX, and RTF output (GNU info support for ISO 8859-1 may be possible in the future). To use this feature, give the formatting scripts the --charset=latin flag, for example:


% sgml2txt --charset=latin foo.sgml

You also can use ISO 8859-1 characters in the SGML source, they will automatically be translated to the proper escape codes for the corresponding output format.
