Yes, but it's open-source 8) so you can add the missing characters
yourself!
I wrote a script which generates a stylesheet based on the current set of
AppleScript styles (in the AppleScript preferences file) and then formats
a script in html, applying the rules from the custom stylesheet.
It also converts special characters to entities. Since my use of accents
and special characters in scripts is generally very low and the number of
entities (and indeed the size of the unicode character set) is very large
I handled that by creating sets of entities from which the user can
select.
I'll pick the minimal one (maybe 20 entities), whereas my friend Alki
Stereopolis
might be inclined to select a more complete set.
I wasn't really trying to be America-centric or anything, Stefano!
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Ciau!
