I have the italian keyboard...



How how do i do "enie" .. (the n with the wave above)???



And how do i do the other special letters??





The only i remember is



ã = alt + n then a



how do i do (n with the same line above)?



and a and o with two dots above?



And when i modify a page with bbeadit lite and save it as html it always gives me ugly letters instead of è,ò,Ã*,ù,ì,é...



What do i need to put in the html to have those as i want?



If i use the same letters writing the file with the notepad of Windows i have no problem.



Would it be the note in the beginning that it's not of windows keyboard..??



How do i resolve that in html??





Just need to write something in Spanish and Portuguese and I don't want to go and chang my system lang or keyboard only for that...





Thanx for anyone who knows

    boy, I said "Keyboard Application", and that wasn't the exact name for it, and you knew it. If you want to flame, you can PM me.

    Mulatta, about the HTML: to ensure proper rendering in ALL browsers on ALL platforms, all characters that do not belong to the ASCII-set, have a special code, which you have to put in your html. These special codes always start with the & sign, and end with a semi-colon ; . Between them, you have mnemotechnic 'character codes', like for the 'n with the wave above', you need the code (between the delimiters I told): ntilde (tilde being what it's actually called in Spanish).



    Now, the codes, I have put for you on my fairly empty site, click <a href="http://www.zaan.be/mulatta.html"; target="_blank">here</a>.



    Two remarks still:



    1) if you save it in, for example, Appleworks, as HTML, Appleworks translates any special character into its HTML-code.



    2) you should try the shareware utility PopChar. It puts a small clickable thingy on your desktop where you can immediately access all characters available. I have been using it since I was, like, fourteen, and I am not fourteen anymore.



    Hope this helps.

    It's quite simple...



    Press the "Apple" key and the key with "` and ~" on it at the same time. Then press "N" and you will have an "ñ".



    This will also work for placing an accent over letter like E and I as well.
