I'm using emacs+psgml. Not ASCII, as another poster pointed out, but something else. Probably ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1). I'm fairly used to non plain chars in their xyz entity form, but how do I translate these into glyphs please? Or character references I might understand as a human, not a machine. You can't translate a character into a glyph; one is a concept, the other is a picture. You can, however, convince Emacs to display the glyph for the character by typing M-x standard-display-european if the document is in Latin 1. You can also use Mule, which comes with Emacs 20.6 (and maybe earlier), which can do some pretty impressive display tricks. I can honestly say this is the first time I have frowned at emacs :-) Octal! And don't think you could easily search-and-replace on these guys; note by cursoring over it that \234 isn't four characters but one. -Chris -- Christopher R.
