NAME
       xml2asc - convert UTF-8 to &#nnn; entities

SYNOPSIS
       xml2asc

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  an UTF-8 encoded text from standard input and writes to standard
       output, converting all non-ASCII characters to &#nnn; entities, so that
       the result is ASCII-encoded.

       One example use is to convert ISO-8859-1 to ASCII with &#nnn; entities,
       by first running asc2xml to convert ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and  then  pipe
       the  result  into  xml2asc to convert to ASCII with &#nnn; entities for
       all accented characters.

       To test if a file is correct UTF-8, ignore the output and test the exit
       code, e.g. in Bash:

	   xml2asc <myfile >/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "Fail"

DIAGNOSTICS
       xml2asc returns with a non-zero exit code if the input was not UTF-8.

SEE ALSO
       asc2xml(1), UTF-8 (RFC 2279)

BUGS
       Doesn't	distinguish  mark-up  from  content, so if the input uses non-
       ASCII characters in XML element names, they will be output with numeri‐
       cal entities in them, which is not legal in XML.
