Today I read there is a possibility to write direct Fench characters in HTML.
Thus instead of having to write :
L'élève va à l'école et ceci est écrit en Français!
I should be able to directly write it in French, i.e. :
L'élève va à l'école et ceci est écrit en Français!
(I just hope this renders well on your output device)
I found two possibilities but none did work.
Possibility 1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML lang="fr-fr">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Un document français</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
L'élève va à l'école et ceci est écrit en Français!
</BODY>
</HTML>
This gives some very queer characters on my screen (like a capital "Z" with a kind of half circle above it instead of the lowercase "e" with a "accent aigue"). Some characters are just omitted (like the c)cedille).
Solution 2
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Exemple de document HTML 4.01</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Un document français</h1>
<p>L'élève va à l'école et ceci est écrit en Français!</p>
</body>
</html>
This time I get for every special French character a question mark in a black diamond (lozenge).
WHAT AM I MISSING?!!
If I could I would send you the 2 ".jpg" partial screen shots in attachement (one is 8 KB, the other 16 KB; don't know how the INSERT IMAGE button works; apparently no browsing possible, nor a copy of my image in the pste-buffer).
Thank you for any help!
