I am putting some journal article titles and abstracts on to a web page.
As it happens (a rare event), there are three Hebrew words in one of the
abstracts. What is the easiest, fastest way to put a few Hebrew words
into
HTML? I don't suppose I can put a CSS tag in for "FONT=HEBREW" can I?
That
would be too simple I suppose. I've not posted Hebrew on the web or in
email ever so I'm not set up with Unicode or anything like that. My
source
is a Word doc but I don't know what font was used there, as what I got is
gibberish. I have the actual printed journal to use for the Hebrew
words.
Thanks.

How far are you able to control the html in the web pages?
When I post to the web, I use either a Macintosh or Linux box because I
can
have both of them default to UTF-8 encoding. I don’t know how to do that
in
Windows™ or if it is even possible. UTF-8 encoding not only allows me to
enter any language, but also special characters in English like n-dash,
m-dash, bullets (even make them using dingbats), quotes instead of inches,
apostrophes instead of feet, and so forth. This is my 2¢.
To encode a web page in UTF-8, I add after the header,
<BODY lang="UTF-8" DIR="LTR">
then type away.
Incidentally, Gmail uses UTF-8 as its default encoding.
Or you can do as Steve Miller mentions.
