Escape special characters using HTML entities

[tobbi]

I noticed that when selecting HTML as the output format, the transcript is saved verbatim in HTML, including all special characters and umlauts. It would be better if you could escape those to HTML entities, so that ä becomes ä for example.

Have you had any problems importing the resulting HTML into another software?
The output is marked as utf-8, so using the wider character set should be ok. But I agree that it would be cleaner and more in-line with the HTML standard to escape umlauts etc.

No, I have not. Just felt it would be cleaner.
