Thanks, Hans, for the example. I do agree, but I'm sorry I don't quite 
understand how to apply this code. Could you be more specific?

Do I still have to use the unicode number, or is this a method to use 
\"e again in the database?

Should I code each diacritic in this way, such as ouml (ö) in my 
example: <p>J. Sch&#246;ttelndreher</p>)?

My solution by the way does not work with, e.g., a Turkish scedil 
(U0015F) in my database, while Tex excells in all kinds of diacritics.

Kind regards,

Robert
