NAME

       wml::fmt::isolatin - ISO-Latin-1 to HTML Entity Conversion

SYNOPSIS

         #use wml::fmt::isolatin [global]

         <isolatin>
         Text with ISO latin 1 characters
         for instance german umlauts: ``oeaeueOeAeUess''
         </isolatin>

DESCRIPTION

       This creates an area substitution with Pass 6 (asubst) for all
       ISO-Latin-1 characters to their corresponding HTML entities. Note that
       this is not really necessary because HTML 3.2 states that every browser
       has to understand ISO-Latin-1 characters. So there is no real need to
       encode them with this container tag. But it is safe, because the result
       is 7Bit which can be transfered over more mediums then the 8 Bit
       version with ISO-Latin-1 characters.

       When adding the "global" argument, the complete document gets
       automatically encapsulated into a "<isolatin>" container.
