Contexers,

That the best way for coding diacritics in the xml database which you 
wish to use for your mailing is by using the appropriate iso-latin1 or 
unicode number:

      <contact num="3" regio="z3" label=`num3'>
      <address>
           <p>J. Sch&#246;ttelndreher</p>
           <p>J. Sch&#xF6;ttelndreher</p>
           <p>Laan der Drie&#235;enheid</p>
           <p>Laan der Drie&#xEB;enheid</p>
....
      </address>
               </contact>

The unicode number (&#x..) gives a slightly better result in my pdf.

Output:

J. Schöttelndreher
J. Schöttelndreher
Laan der Drieëenheid
Laan der Drieëenheid
1234 AB Beginhoven

The code is known, of course, but find nevertheless a useful link here: 
http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/ncrs.html

If you should want to copy your text back from the pdf, the diacritic 
character falls apart: Laan der Drie¨eenheid, but who would?

I suppose other codes can be used as well.

Regards,

Robert Ermers
