;;; Commentary: 
;; This lisp code serves two purposes, both of which involve 
;; the translation of various conventions for representing European 
;; character sets to ISO 8859-1.

; Net support: 
; Various conventions exist in Newsgroups on how to represent national 
; characters. The functions provided here translate these net conventions 
; to ISO.
;
; Calling `iso-german' will turn the net convention for umlauts ("a etc.) 
; into ISO latin1 umlaute for easy reading.
; 'iso-spanish' will turn net conventions for representing spanish 
; to ISO latin1. (Note that accents are omitted in news posts most 
; of the time, only enye is escaped.)

; TeX support
; This mode installs hooks which change TeX files to ISO Latin-1 for 
; simplified editing. When the TeX file is saved, ISO latin1 characters are
; translated back to escape sequences.
;
; An alternative is a TeX style that handles 8 bit ISO files 
; (available on ftp.vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at in /pub/8bit)  
; - but these files are difficult to transmit ... so while the net is  
; still @ 7 bit this may be useful

;; TO DO:
; The net support should install hooks (like TeX support does) 
; which recognizes certains news groups and translates all articles from 
; those groups. 
;
; Cover more cases for translation (There is an infinite number of ways to 
; represent accented characters in TeX)

;; SEE ALSO:
; If you are interested in questions related to using the ISO 8859-1 
; characters set (configuring emacs, Unix, etc. to use ISO), then you
; can get the ISO 8859-1 FAQ via anonymous ftp from
