use a programm in Validator pro

Post by Walter Metzger »

Visitor of the forum,

when I work with Validator pro
an d I open a html-File,
in German we have unfortunately ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü and ß.
This all are to change manually in dezimal representation.

Is it possible, to run in Validator Pro an progamm changing our german symbols automatically (like a batch-file)?

Wen yes, can someone say to me how to install.

Greetings

Hello Walter,

It sounds like you want a search and replace program that can do a batch search and replace. CSS HTML Validator isn't designed for search and replace.

You may want to give TextPipe a try. It can do that and a lot more.

Albert,

I can manage this with a littel file of OpenOffice with ä hexdezimal an dezimal,
an so on for the other special characters.
To write a scprit would be possible for me, but I found no
place to integrate this in CSE HTML.

It was only a idea.

Hi Walter,

You can run basic programs from CSS HTML Validator by configuring the User Inserter to run a command with the "shellexecute" attribute. Maybe this will do what you want? More info is here: https://www.htmlvalidator.com/current/d ... figure.htm

There are some examples at the bottom of the above documentation page.
