Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to little problem with nsd8x

ISO-8859-1 is supposed to handle English, German, French, Spanish, and
maybe some others as well. So you should be able to
author your files in ISO-8859-1 without any special HTML escapes.

If you .adp files are in ISO-8859-1, though, you may need my
patch which reads the .adp script into Tcl using the
desired encoding. If you just let the system call ns_adp_parse
on a file, I believe it will try to read it in as UTF8. You can
convert your .adp file to UTF8 if you want, but that is a pain.
It is better to use a patch which reads the .adp file
into a Tcl string and then calls ns_adp_parse with the -string option.
