Hi,
thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I tried it with tidy's utf-8
command line option but I got question marks instead of the á
é etc. entities. I can't use tidy at all, no matter which one I
choose. Do you think utf-8 has still advantages even if I can use each
necessary character with iso-8859-2? If it's reasonable I will use utf-8
but I CC'd the related lists for further discussion.
For those, who don't know what is it about, please read this:

Actually, I only need a few special characters:
á
é
í
ó
ú
ö
ü
o with double acute
u with double acute
And the capitalized forms of them.
