How do I do that?



I know I can substitute é to é for instance, but most text editors on other platforms, amongst them NotePad, do not need you to do that. You can just type the appropriate character (é in this case) and it works.



I've tried all sorts of text encodings with BBEdit, to no avail. Could anyone tell me what to do?

    BBEdit has a table for this:



    Window&gt;HTML Entities



    Hope this helps.
