Tutorial:
Notepad++ shortcuts.xml macro converts unicode to the 95-keyboard ASCII characters
Below is a shortcuts.xml that builds a macro to convert any character that
is in a copy-and-pasted excerpt into one of the 95 QWERTY keyboard 7-bit
ASCII characters.
The use model is simple:
a. Edit or replace your current shortcuts.xml with this shortcuts.xml
b. Paste the text to be converted into Notepad++
c. Press Control+A Control+B to convert the Unicode to 7-bit ASCII
A typical sequence is:
ctrl+x (copies text snippet from a news article containing Unicode)
Win+R > n (starts notepad using the registry App Paths key)
ctrl+v (pastes the text into Notepad++)
ctrl+a (selects it all, if not already all selected)
ctrl+b (runs the macro which converts unicode to ascii)
ctrl+x (cuts it all out of the Notepadd++ session)
ctrl+v (pastes it back into where you needed it in gVim)
Only the most common unicode characters are in this conversion xml such as
Convert (') apostrophe instead of curly apostrophe (U+2018 U+2019)
Convert (" straight doublequote instead of curly doublequote (U+201C U+201D)
Convert (-) hyphen-minus instead of en dash or em dash (U+2013 U+2014)
Convert (...) three periods instead of ellipsis character (U+2026)
Convert (space) normal space instead of non-breaking space (U+00A0)
Convert (*) asterisk or ( - ) hyphen instead of typographic bullet (U+2022)
Convert text "degrees" instead of degree symbol (U+00B0)
Convert (>) greater-than sign instead of [RIGHT ARROW U+2192]
Convert (<) less-than sign instead of [LEFT ARROW U+2190]
Convert text "(TM)" instead of trademark symbol (U+2122)
Convert text "(R)" instead of registered mark symbol (U+00AE)
Convert text "(C)" instead of copyright symbol (U+00A9)
Convert CRLF (U+000D U+000A) Windows-style line endings instead of LF-only
Convert (U+000A) Unix-style line endings when preparing code/text for Windows gVim.
If any are missing that are common, please add the conversion code.
(This is my actual copy - as it has been edited umpteen times over time;
but I'll post a followup cleanup version which should be easier to parse.)

UPDATE:
Currently every shortcuts.xml mapping is written out as a 6-line block:
1700 -> start search
1601 -> set search string (funky character)
1625 -> clear replace buffer
1602 -> set replacement string (ASCII equivalent)
1702 -> run replace all
1701 -> end
That's why the file looks so long and repetitive.
This started as a convertion of just a couple of funky characters to ASCII.
Then it grew over time (years) one by one to include more characters.
We can't avoid the repetition entirely because Notepad++ macros don't
support loops or dictionaries.
But we can simplify because for Notepad++ macros, we don't actually need
the reset/clear/end lines every time.
The essential trio is:
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="BADCHAR" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="GOODCHAR" />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
So each mapping shrinks from 6 lines > 3 lines.
However, if we're open to using a plugin (like PythonScript or LuaScript),
we can collapse the whole macro into a dictionary loop such as this:
mapping = {
"\u2010": "-", # hyphen
"\u2011": "-", # non-breaking hyphen
"\u2013": "-", # en dash
"\u2014": "-", # em dash
"\u2018": "'", # left single quote
"\u2019": "'", # right single quote
"\u201C": '"', # left double quote
"\u201D": '"', # right double quote
"\u2026": "...",# ellipsis
"\u2022": "*", # bullet
"\u00A0": " ", # non-breaking space
"\uFEFF": "", # BOM
# �K add the rest
}
editor.beginUndoAction()
for bad, good in mapping.items():
editor.rereplace(bad, good)
editor.endUndoAction()
I'll post the test version of the rewritten macro in the next update.

I go to trouble and time and effort to write my Usenet posts because I'm
kind hearted enough to care that everyone gets excellent researched data.

UPDATE:
Drat. The original depended on 1700/1625/1701 around each replace.
So I removed the redundancy. When I tested it, only some characters worked.
But for characters like degree, copyright, trademark, registered, etc., Notepad++ apparently must have the reset (1700), clear (1625) and end (1701) lines around the replace (1702) because otherwise, AFAICT, the Find/Replace engine apparently doesn't execute.
So we're stuck with the redundancy for Notepad++ to replace each character.
Hyphens: - - - - - -
Quotes: ' ' " " 'backtick'
Ellipsis: ...
Bullets: *
Zero-widtha: ''' (these may look invisible)
Spaces:
Symbols: 90deg (C) (TM) (R)
Arrowa: ->
Literals: - &#151;
Diacritics: g s e a
SOH: [U+0001 here]
etc.
Here is the latest working version which I tested against the above characters.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!-- Notepad++ shortcuts.xml version 1p1 20251211 -->
<!-- Use model: ctrl+A (select all), ctrl=B (convert) -->
<!-- -->
<!-- 1700 start search -->
<!-- 1601 set search string (funky character) -->
<!-- 1625 clear replace buffer -->
<!-- 1602 set replacement string (ASCII equivalent) -->
<!-- 1702 run replace all -->
<!-- 1701 end -->

In the light of the above, not quite. Maybe the the below ?
-- Initialize
1700
1625
1702
-- Repeated block
1601
1602
1701
Odd though : you have posted the standard macros, as if you have not tested
your "the essential trio" conclusion yourself ...
And a remark : When you replace something with something else, and than
later replace that something else by something-yet-else you won't like the
result (no occurence of "something else" will remain). You need the second
replace come before the first one.
Also, replacing something with itself doesn't really do much. :-)
And a hint : make sure that all indentation is correct before hitting the
"send" button. Seeing the "action" lines having four different indentations
looks ugly. Same for wrapping replace-blocks (those 6 lines you spoke of)
with empty lines. Either do it everywhere, or do it nowhere.
And I almost forgot : You need to be carefull when replacing special chars
with phrases. You might have better results when wrapping the phrases with
spaces ( see "->" and "deg")
And noticed while walking thru that list :
" " is a thin space, not an "x".
"&#151;" to "&" ? Not a dash ?
'"' with single-quotes around it instead of double ones ? Any reason
for that ?
"apos;" ? Why not just a single quote thats available on you keyboard ?
" " is a hard space, not a quote.
"‘" and "’" are twice in there.
"*" is a standard ASCII char ("*"). Why not use it instead ?

Thanks for looking at the code, which was designed to convert the most
common "funky" characters found in web site copy pasted text to only the 95
or so characters found on a typical US QWERTY keyboard.
When I tested the "essential trio", I didn't realize it missed some (like
copyright, trademark, degrees, etc.), so I posted an update replacing the
trio with the half dozen.
So I agree with you that the essential trio was posted before I was
positive it worked in all cases - which it didn't - so I replaced it.
> Also, replacing something with itself doesn't really do much. :-)
I'm not sure what you mean by that since the replacement is to change
Unicode characters (for the most part) into 7-bit ASCII characters.
So, in the sense that a curly quote is changed to a regular quote, you
could argue it's replacing itself, but in reality it's a different
character.
If you're on the Android newsgroup, you'll see more clearly why it matters.
We've had a discussion about charset Usenet headers in recent days.

Good point. That's my actual code so I didn't clean it up for presentation.

Yeah. Thanks. The degree I struggled with bothering with since gVIM can
handle the degree but I wanted to be consistent in removing all the common
characters which are found in copy-pasted web sites that's not on the
keyboard.
There's no "arrow" or "degree" symbol on the keyboard.

Thank you for making those wonderful suggestions.
I'll take them each on their own merits in a moment, as I appreciate the
help, not only for me, but for everyone as we all can use this sanitizer.

Thank you for all those suggestions, where, as always, I easily agree
with anyone who makes a logically sensible argument, no matter what.
1. Regarding " " is a thin space, not an "x".
I don't see   (thin space) explicitly listed in the macro.
  (NO-BREAK SPACE was replaced with " ")
  (FIGURE SPACE was replaced with " ")
  (NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE was replaced with " ")
I haven't tested it thoroughly but this is what I'll test:
<!-- U+2009 THIN SPACE ? " " -->
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " />
<Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
2. Regarding "&#151;" to "&" ? Not a dash ?
— is a legacy Windows-1252 code for an em dash.
In proper Unicode, the em dash is —
Since — represents a dash, the replacement should logically be a dash (-).
Good catch. Here's the fixed block.
<!-- Literal &#151; ? "-" -->
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="&#151;" />
<Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="-" />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
3. " is the XML entity for a double quote (").
In XML, both single ' and double " quotes are valid for wrapping attribute values.
Functionally, it works fine in that Notepad++ will interpret it correctly.
Using single quotes around " is just a stylistic choice.
sParam=""" will also work.
For easier reading, I'll change it to these.
<!-- U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTE ? "\"" -->
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="“" />
<Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=""" />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
<!-- U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTE ? "\"" -->
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="”" />
<Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=""" />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
The change is:
Before: sParam='"' (single quotes around the entity).
Now: sParam=""" (double quotes around the entity).
4. "apos;" ? Why not just a single quote that's available on your keyboard?
The reason is that I was in syntax hell when I first tried it.
So instead of a single quote, I used the XML entity for it.
But you are correct that, in XML, you can safely put a literal ' inside
an attribute value if the attribute itself is wrapped in double quotes.
So sParam="'" is simpler and clearer than is sParam="'"
This is a rewritten block that takes advantage of that syntax:
<!-- U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTE ? "'" -->
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="‘" />
<Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="'" />
<Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
Thanks for the advice, which I had taken the easy way out (syntactically)
in the past, but your suggestion is much easier for others to read.
I changed these six blocks (U+2018, U+2019, U+200C, U+200D, U+2060,
and BACKTICK) to use a plain ' instead of '.
5. " " is a hard space, not a quote.
This hard space (aka a non-breaking space) is correct but I can see how
it might have been mixed in with the quotes.
6. "‘" and "’" are twice in there.
Later in the file, I also had zero-width joiner/non-joiner and
word joiner sections where the replacement was also '.
That makes it look like the single quote replacement appears multiple times.
The Unicode single quotes (U+2018 and U+2019) were not repeated, AFAICT.
Yes there are several other blocks where the replacement was also '
(for zero-width joiner, non-joiner, word joiner, backtick) but those aren't
duplicates of U+2018 or U+2019, but they look similar since the replacement
is the same character.
7. "*" is a standard ASCII char ("*"). Why not use it instead?
I'm replacing the Unicode bullet with an asterisk (*).
But you're saying, I think, that * is already a plain ASCII character
so we don't need to encode it.
In the macro, I have it set as sParam="*", which will use the asterisk.
I agree with you that encoding ASCII characters as entities is unnecessary
Here is the new shortcuts.xml, version 1p2, with those specific fixes.

<!-- 1702 run replace all -->
<!-- 1701 end -->

I normally don't explain things like I'm going to, but I was getting ready to go to the doctor's office for my sudden hearing loss and I was hurrying to post the results of the tests which I had to back down from since I published them too soon (as I found out in my own testing the trio problem). While we "can" eliminate the repetition of the six steps, for simplicity, I fell back to the six-step method for each character to be translated to ascii. I'm sure if we looked at the problem we could do a dictionary lookup, but the system is already working (and has worked for years) so there's no reason to do so. There's even likely a Windows program I can pipe my posts thru to do the conversion, I'll wager, but I don't know of that program (so I wrote it). In summary, thanks for catching that I was premature on the trio. I've removed it in favor of the half dozen. > >>> Also, replacing something with itself doesn't really do much. :-) >> >> I'm not sure what you mean by that since the replacement is to change >> Unicode characters (for the most part) into 7-bit ASCII characters. >> >> So, in the sense that a curly quote is changed to a regular quote, you >> could argue it's replacing itself, but in reality it's a different >> character. > > Nope, that isn't what I'm talking about : I see at least one replacement > where the 1602 is the same as the 1601. Not really usefull. I thank you for all your suggestions, where I "think" I've implemented all of them.

No matter what you do, that choice can work for > you as easily as against you (ask yourself how I know.. :-) ). What I'm replacing isn't for looks. It's for charset compatibility. I don't care what a quote looks like, as long as it's a keyboard character. > >>> Seeing the "action" lines having four different indentations looks ugly. >>> Same for wrapping replace-blocks (those 6 lines you spoke of) with empty >>> lines.

As always, I agree with anyone who makes valid sensible statements. Remember though, I don't get paid for this. I volunteer my time for you. :) If someone paid me for a tutorial, it would look beautiful! :) > >> There's no "arrow" or "degree" symbol on the keyboard. > > Feel free to quote where I said so or even just suggested as such. I didn't say you said that. I'm just pointing out the goal is to convert any text to text that is found on a keyboard.

I very much appreciate the work you did to COMPREHEND the work that I had done. I was actually very HAPPY you criticized the work I had done. Notice that I spent a LOT Of effort (hours) cleaning it up. As you had suggested. We all need to keep in mind I'm not paid, and neither are you. We're working to improve tribal knowledge together. Now people can convert copy and pasted text to keyboard characters. > >> not only for me, but for everyone as we all can use this sanitizer. > > :-) Most people do not use npp (me among them), so its of zero use to them. > Other people will have zero need to flatten UTF-8 (html ?) documents into > ASCII, so its of zero use to them either.

That leaves a rather small audience, not much of an "all" > at all, but more like a niche ... But for those who have a need to convert arbitrary text to keyboard text, it's useful (if they're on Windows). Thanks for spending the effort to UNDERSTAND the code. I appreciate any help anyone gives because I'm a team player. That's what I love about Usenet. We're all improving the tribal knowledge together. Now anyone, who wants to, can instantly convert arbitrary text to keyboard text (assuming the character set we've defined is good enough of course).

Arlen,
>>> So I agree with you that the essential trio was posted before I
>>> was positive it worked in all cases - which it didn't - so I replaced
>>> it.
You don't get it, do you ?
What you have posted is *not* a tutorial, and you not doing yourself, and
/definitily not/ the people you claim you are writing tutorials for, any
favour.
All you did was, rather literally, dump some raw material and some
unverified assumptions into a post. Assumptions which I could correct you
on with just a few minutes of googeling by the way.
Than you build another unverified assumption ("the essential trio is") ontop
if it and put it into an update of the tutorial.
Yes, it *could* become worth-while information for some people, but as its
now its worthless to the people you claim you are posting it for (the
novices). Verify/test *before* posting, /especially/ when you want to
claim its a tutorial.
As for your "I was hurrying to post" ? Thats something you've done to
yourself. Nobody was waiting for it, and would be none-the-wiser if you
would have worked on it a bit more and posted it tomorrow, next week or even
later.
Good work takes time. Give it that. Would you go to a restaurant and
accept that you get a half-raw meal, or would you expect them to take their
time and present you with something you would enjoy eating ?
Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I've likewise invested the energy into providing a working conversion file. If you think the work is shoddy, point to any one of your thousands of helpful tutorials on the net and I'll take a look at them for you. What would be particularly useful to the newsgroup as a whole would be your method of converting any characters to keyboard characters on Windows.

Arlen, > Clearly I've invested in explaining to others how the substitution works. You did. To bad that your explanation started on a quicksand of assumptions, making it rather worthless. My mentioning of what those macro line actually do ? That was my attempt to softly nudge you to veryfy what you guessed/assumed. The rest was provided for the same reason. Writing words down isn't that hard. Making sure that what you write is correct and makes sense to your audience is whats time-consuming. > I've likewise invested the energy into providing a working conversion > file. To me it looks as if you just copy-and-pasted npp's macro file into your post. Not something that I would regard as "invested the energy". > If you think the work is shoddy, I do. Very much so. And I have been saying the same for years. > point to any one of your thousands of helpful tutorials on the net and > I'll take a look at them for you. And when I show you my work and you - undoubtebly, as thats obviously your target - find something that you can claim, true or not, is shoddy than suddenly your own work becomes less so ? I'm sorry kid, but that is not how it works. :-) Besides that, I don't need to be a mechanic to be able to notice and tell an actual mechanic that a car is missing wheel bolts. If that mechanic than tries to tell me that I'm not able to tell him that because I'm not a mechanic I will not ever think of letting him touch my car, and will warn my family and friends to do the same. > What would be particularly useful to the newsgroup as a whole would be > your method of converting any characters to keyboard characters on > Windows. No, it wouldn't. As already explained - but as so often ignored by you - your target audience is at best a (very) small subset of this newsgroup. As for me providing you with methods than your npp macro one ? Why should I provide you with something you can *easily* find out yourself with a bit of googeling ? Why is it always /us/ who have to provide you with the information /you/ want/need - nonwithstanding how easily its to google ? Regards, Rudy Wieser

The whole point of providing open source code is so everyone improves it.
To that end, here is the latest version of the shortcuts.xml file.
Note that the intent is to convert (not to edit) characters.
Typically a conversion is needed to ASCII when "funky text" is copied
from a variety of prettified web sources, and you want it consistent.
The only consistent mechanism that EVERYONE can agree on is keyboard
ascii (aka the 95 characters found on the typical desktop keyboard).
Note that I could put into this shortcuts.xml a conversion of all possible
"funky text" but then it would become enormous - so this is common stuff.
It's stuff I've run into over the years.
Below, for your edification, is my latest shortcuts.xml file.
The use model is simple:
1. Bring up Notepad++ (e.g., "Win+R > n" if you use "App Paths" keys)
2. Ctrl+v paste the funky text & Ctrl+a (to select all)
3. Ctrl+b (to convert all the pasted text to keyboard ASCII)
It's fast. Effective. Simple.
If anyone has a *better* solution, please let all of us know what that is.
Otherwise, this is the best (so far) that I can offer the team to use.

Arlen, >> Why is it always /us/ who have to provide you with the information /you/ >> want/need - nonwithstanding how easily its to google ? > > The whole point of providing open source code is so everyone improves it. No. So that anyone *can* improve on it. Its just you who thinks that and as such demands from us to do all the hard work and fix your steaming shitpiles up into something that can be called usefull, and than take all the credit for it. Proof of that ? When was the last time you attributed a change/fix/addition to someone ? More proof ? You have yet to tell me hoe my suggested re-ordering of those "the essential trio" macro-command works. It would have taken you what ? All of 10 minutes ? Heck, you even *complained* that I did not thank you for having having fixed all the things I found. The thing is, kid, *I should not have had to provide you with /any/ of it*. As I said, I found that with a cursory inspection. You ? *You* should have done a thorough inspection and found all of that (and likely more) yourself. Also, someone creating something open source normally takes much pride in offering SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND IS DESCRIBED CORRECTLY. You definitily don't. :-((( To be honest, I do not even know which part of that macro is npp's and which part is yours - if any part of it (besides the things to replace and what to replace it with) is actually yours. > It's fast.

But thats you to the dot. : You get information that your above guesses to what those commands mean are incorrect, but you cannot get yourself to accept it. Not when you publicly have to acknowledge that there are people in this newsgroup who know more (even just about this) than you. Tell me : why should an "1701 = end this search/replace block" need to have an "lParam=1609" argument ? Why isn't "lparam" just Zero ? How many kinds of "end this search/replace block" would npp need/have ? What *else* would that 1701 command be doing when that "lparam" argument is given another value ? And if it does something different, why did you give the 1701 command a single "this is what it does" explanation/description ? You pride yourself on being logical. If you can't answer the above than you should tone-down that pride. Not that you ever will ofcourse. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. Its always remarkable how you, when you don't get your way, start to throw accusations of wrongdoing around, but when asked to quote how/where that that happened you always drop the matter like hot potato. p.p.s. You don't have to take my words as the truth. In fact, I always told my pupils that they shouldn't. But I /did/ expect them to use the tools at hand - first books, later the internet - to look stuff up and come to their own conclusions Which, surprise, surprise, most always matched what I told them (and when not we /both/ had a "learning moment"). As long as you can't even get yourself to do a bit of googeling to verify/prove that your own claims are correct / the others (my) claims are not you will forever stay willfully ignorant. That is what your ego is doing to you. -|

I appreciate all your inputs, and the inputs from Chris & others. The best I can do is share "my code" so that everyone can benefit. If anyone has a *better* way to "clean" funky text so that it's consistently ASCII, then please provide that solution so that everyone on the ng benefits from your acumen, experience, and helpful intent. Including me. Since I use that conversion process a hundred times every day.

Arlen, > I appreciate all your inputs, and the inputs from Chris & others. > > The best I can do is share "my code" so that everyone can benefit. My input ? Looking at your current work and remembering your "turorials" of the past I would suggest *not* to share. As long as you can't be arsed to put even just a few hours worth of work into cleaning up your stuff and googeling if your "facts" match the available documentation you should keep those "tutorials" to yourself. As said before, you're not doing the novices - for which you claim to write for and which depend on your information to be correct - any favours. Quite the opposite actually. > If anyone has a *better* way to "clean" funky text I already did. Use a bit of (VB)Script, or use one of the available a "stream editors". But hey, doing as if nobody has tried to help you (and likely just waiting until someone hands you what you need on a silver platter) is easier than doing your own work. In that regard, you're writing those two words wrong : Its not "we" and "team", but "wie" and "teiam". Yes, I know that they always say that there is no "i" in them, but you prove them wrong every time. :-) :-( > Including me. > Since I use that conversion process a hundred times every day. Bullshit, just like your "thousands of tutorials" claim you made. Ah, I remember once having applied basic calculus to that one, pointing out that if you would have churned out one tutorial every week you would have needed 1000'nts divided by 52 equals a multiple of 20 years. Just 2500 tutorials ? That would have taken *your whole working life*. And by the way : your reverting of what those six macro lines mean away from what I gave you back to what you had initially guessed yourself instead of trying to google if mine where perhaps correct (or hell, maybe you did!) is the likely the highest level of pettyness you can reach. But who cares, your ego takes precedence on providing novices (us) with facts, right ? Ofcourse it does. :-( Regards, Rudy Wieser

I used to write tutorials for a well-known Silicon Valley company.

Arlen, >> Bullshit, just like your "thousands of tutorials" claim you made. > > I used to write tutorials for a well-known Silicon Valley company. Kiddo, you have claimed *so many facts* that you could not support with evidence that I can't believe this claim either. Besides, you *again* missed the point : 2500 tutorials would take you 50 years - *IF* you would be able to churn out on a week, *every* week. And knowing that research takes time (guess how I know) I don't believe for a second you could do that. > But moving forward, here's the latest revision of shortcuts.xml. [snip] Actually, you have already shown us proof that you are unable to churn out a tutorial a week with your current subject : you started at december 11, its now december 22, and you're not near being finished. For one, you still have to repleace your guesses to what those macro commands mean with researched facts. Regards, Rudy Wieser

Arlen, >> Bullshit, just like your "thousands of tutorials" claim you made. > > I used to write tutorials for a well-known Silicon Valley company. And I totally forgot to mention the obvious : Looking at the "tutorials" you have been posting here in the past years - including the current one - there is *absolutily no chance* that you have *ever* actually written one. Commercially or not. Thoug I have to say that, even though your current "tutorial" doesn't even come near to being one, its a *lot* better than the ones you posted us a few years ago. At least now you kept yourself to a single subject. iow, you /do/ seem to be able to learn. Even if its on a glacial speed. Regards, Rudy Wieser
