<p>Hello Andras<br>
<br>
You are right for all general html-files used to display data in the
"normal" internet.<br>
<br>
For many other reasons, it would have been very useful to enable the
"automatic recode"-function. I'm working on XML-files, which need to be
in utf-8 charset and special characters have to be encoded - can you
imagine the endless decrease of effort for me.&nbsp; And secondly not all
browsers can handle special characters in general. We develope an
application, which supports it&acute;s own browser for displaying helps and
stuff. This internal java browser doesn't like special chars and
therefore I have to encode it (not all company employees are allowed to
have or able to have "normal" browsers)<br>

    <pre wrap="">Hello Maillist,

 I searched a lot, but found nothing even in forums of kde - so I
hope anyone can help me here. I'm using Quanta as a favourite
developing tool, because I like one very special thing....

 recoding of ASCII-Chars like (&ouml;,&auml;,&szlig;, ...) automaticly while writing
them.

No, it did not lost this function. It is just smarter now, meaning that 
it will replace only the characters that cannot be encoded. At least we 
did not see any reason to replace characters that can be stored 
natively in the file.

  <pre wrap=""><!---->Set your files to iso-8859-1 and you will have them...hm, but \
it seems  that those chars are part of the iso-8859-1 standard as well.

So you mean that there is a need to change the characters to their 
encodig values even if they can be stored natively? If yes, in which 
case?
 The characters you have listed can be saved in an iso-8859-1 document 
and all browsers should be able to deal with them correctly.
