    Hello,
    I had a problem creating web pages with polish characters using Notepad++. I took some time to run trough this forum and found 2 answers (both by anonymous) that put together solved my problem. Here is some info and the solution:
    - The web pages are created using ISO-8859-2 encoding, defined in the 'head' section of the html file: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2">.
    - I'm using an English version of Windows, but I added polish keyboard (polish-programmer) to "default input language". That can be done through (Windows Vista example) Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Keyboard and Languages -> Change Keyboard -> Add -> Polish (programmer). To switch between keyboards, use Shift +Alt or right click on EN and pick PL. (that applies also to any other keyboard added to the system)

    IN ORDER TO USE POLISH CHARACTERS IN Notepad++:

    Close Notepad ++.
    Download the newest version of ConvertExt plugin and install it.
    http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php

    After installation (check install.txt for instructions), edit file ConvertExt.enc and add code:

    GROUP "Polish"

    TABLE "WINDOWS-1250"
    {
    // A C E L N Ó S Z Z a c e l n ó s z z
    a5 c6 ca a3 d1 d3 8c 8f af b9 e6 ea b3 f1 f3 9c 9f bf 
    }

    TABLE "ISO-8859-2"
    {
    // A C E L N Ó S Z Z a c e l n ó s z z
    a1 c6 ca a3 d1 d3 a6 ac af b1 e6 ea b3 f1 f3 b6 bc bf
    }

    In Notepad++ select menu: Plugins > ConvertExt > Options > Encoding
    uncheck the 'Disable External Encodings' option.

    After that highlight your document and select menu: Plugins > ConvertExt > Polish > Convert to ISO-88059-2

    Hope it works for you.

      Does it matter that those messages were written by "anonymous"?
