Description
The usage of special characters is always a problem due to the encoding used, either when the file is written or when the user is viewing the web page because of the type of codification used,
a quick andeasy way to solve this problem is use the entities codes instead of the special characters. And how we do this? it's simple just replace in the source code the special character with the respective entity code.
For instance the entity code of the character «á»
is «á», to facilitate
the resolution of this problem I created a plugin to make this automatic replacement, the Encode Entities v1.0 β
How to Use
This plugin has two operation modes, first is the replacement of special characters by their entity code and second is the inverse operation, replace the entity code by their special character.
To make the replacement of special characters in your document, go to menu Plug-ins → Encode Entities → Encode All Chars, if you have selected text, the plugin only will replace the selected text, if you don't have selected text will be replaced all the characters throughout the document.
You can do the opposite, ie replace the entities codes by their characters to do this go to the menu Plug-ins → Encode Entities → Reverse Encoding, if you have selected text, the plugin only will replace the selected text, if you don't have selected text will be replaced all the characters throughout the document.
