Note that this format is similar to the encoding done for HTML, but is different. ExampleIf the text to filled in is:5 < 10 >= 7. &dquote;&&dquote; is an ampersand.the result is: 5 < 10 >= 7. "&" is an ampersand. tosef.plThere is a perl script, tosef.pl, that will take some text in and output the equivalent text, but in symbol encoded format. Input is to standard input and output is to standard output. Here is the free distribution of tosef.pl.
