# WML:isolatin(3)

ISO-Latin-1 to HTML Entity Conversion

## NAME

WML:isolatin - ISO-Latin-1 to HTML Entity Conversion

## SYNOPSIS

```
  <use WML:isolatin />
```

```
  <isolatin>
  Text with ISO latin 1 characters
  for instance german umlauts: ``öäüÖÄÜß''
  </isolatin>
```

## DESCRIPTION

This creates an area substitution with Pass 6 (asubst) for all ISO-Latin-1 characters to their corresponding HTML entities. Note that this is not really necessary because HTML 3.2 states that every browser has to understand ISO-Latin-1 characters. So there is no real need to encode them with this container tag. But it is safe, because the result is 7Bit which can be transfered over more mediums then the 8 Bit version with ISO-Latin-1 characters.
