5 Internationalization Support
******************************

The ISO 8859-1 (latin1) character set may be used for international
characters in plain text, LaTeX, HTML, LyX, and RTF output (GNU info
support for ISO 8859-1 may be possible in the future).  To use this
feature, give the formatting scripts the "'-charset=latin"' flag, for
example:

     % linuxdoc -B txt --charset=latin foo.sgml

   You also can use ISO 8859-1 characters in the SGML source, they will
automatically be translated to the proper escape codes for the
corresponding output format.

   Currently, EUC-JP (ujis) character set is partially supported.
Source SGML file using this character set can be converted in plain
text, HTML, and LaTeX. Other output formats are not tested fully.
