Ticket #42: 0000042-latin2utf.php.txt

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Latin-2-UTF
Plugin URI: http://kackreiz.net/wordpress.php
Description: Since old versions of Wordpress used Latin-1 encoding for all the
content, displaying these old entries through a new WP Version (using UTF-8)
looks ugly. This Plugin converts the German Umlauts &Auml;...&uuml; and &szlig;
from Latin1 to UTF8.

Version: 1.0
Author: Jan Varwig
Author URI: http://kackreiz.net

INSTALLATION:
1. Copy into wp-content/plugins and activate it in the admin-panel.
2. You can now use the filter latin2utf on any of your text-snippets
   (like "the_content", "comment_text", etc.)More information on this can be
   found here:
                  http://wiki.wordpress.org/Plugin/API
   For example you can put
     add_filter('the_content', 'latin2utf');
   on top of your index.php, after the
     require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   line
