NAME


xml2asc - convert UTF-8 to &#nnn; entities

SYNOPSIS


xml2asc

DESCRIPTION


Reads an UTF-8 encoded text from standard input and writes to standard output, converting
all non-ASCII characters to &#nnn; entities, so that the result is ASCII-encoded.

One example use is to convert ISO-8859-1 to ASCII with &#nnn; entities, by first running
asc2xml to convert ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and then pipe the result into xml2asc to convert to
ASCII with &#nnn; entities for all accented characters.

To test if a file is correct UTF-8, ignore the output and test the exit code, e.g. in
Bash:

xml2asc <myfile >/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "Fail"

DIAGNOSTICS


xml2asc returns with a non-zero exit code if the input was not UTF-8.
