I have installed ht//dig 3.1.6 on HPUX 10.20 my shell environment LANG setting is (and was during compilation) LANG=C.iso88591
ht//dig does not process accented German and French characters correctly. I am trying to index a multi-lingual website which contains a mixture of English, German, French and other languages. When I look into db.wordlist while it is generated by 'rundig', it mutilates all words containing an Umlaut or other accented character. It treats an accented character is a word-splitting character, instead of mapping it to a non accented equivalent. Example: German word 'ungem�tlich' (uncomfortable) creates wordlist entries ungem i:1490 l:327 w:673 a:1 tlich i:1433 l:826 w:174 a:50 instead of mapping the umlaut to 'u' as in ungemutlich Searching for 'ungem�tlich' results in no hit at all. What do I have to do to get the correct behaviour, so that both rundig/htdig do the accented character mapping, and searching does the same mapping on the search terms before it searches? I have noticed that there is a description to solve this problem in French, but my French is insufficient to understand it. Also, I got the impression that this author was dealing with a French-only website. I am dealing with a multi-language site, and I do not mind if I get a few more search hits due to mapping, e.g. both 'Z�rich' and 'Zurich' are mapped to 'zurich' and a search for 'Z�rich' gives also those pages containing the English spelling 'Zurich'. I hope that there is a howto-description somewhere, and I did just not find it. -- || Alois Treindl, Astrodienst AG, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] || Zollikon/Zurich, Switzerland _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
