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 &aacute; 
&eacute; 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:
http://bsdblogs.droso.org/gabor/2006/08/31/charset-issues/

Actually, I only need a few special characters:
&aacute;
&eacute;
&iacute;
&oacute;
&uacute;
&ouml;
&uuml;
o with double acute
u with double acute
And the capitalized forms of them.

Cheers,

Gabor
