 Hey all,

 I'm looking for recommendations on how to replace accented
 characters, like e and u with those two little dots above
 them, with the regular e and u characters.
 FWIW, those two dots are called an "umlaut".

 Paul

FWIW, the whole letters ÄäÖöÜü are called "Umlaute" (umlauts).
The two dots above *these* letters are "Umlautzeichen" (umlaut marks).
But two dots above an e or i are called "Trema" (diacritic mark).

Marcus

On what other list could we learn that?

A linguistics list I'd wager.

:B

Cheers,
Rob.


And let's not forget the Trema list.  :-)

My point was more to the theme that we are an eclectic group of people with a wide range of knowledge and skills. Individually we may have trouble finding our ass, but together we can find the answer to many things.

Cheers,
