Hello!

I still find it cumbersome working with national characters in Webuilder 2015.

For me its: æøåÆØÅ

I have auto-correct set up, but this requires much back and forth (empty spaces required)
And I have snippets set up. But this to is not very fluid workflow.

Best would be auto-correct that not needed spaces before or after,
optional between html-tags only (content)

We also use national characters for web development work here but we never use entities. That's what UTF-8 was invented for. Why not just use UTF-8 everywhere?

Yep, as Aivars suggested it's much better if you save everything as UTF-8. In your HTML files be sure to add the meta tag

Code: Select all: <meta charset="utf-8">

just under the

Code: Select all: <head>

tag in your pages.

Sorry for late reply!

Thanks!
But I've tried utf-8 and it doesn't work for my asp-include-page.

It should work regardless of whether it's asp or anything else, just make sure that all site is utf-8 (you can't mix utf-8 and local encodings) and that you have appropriate meta encoding set. If you use database or other imported data, that should be in utf-8, too. It might not be viable to convert the existing site to utf-8, depending on how big and complex it is, but for future projects you should really think about using utf-8, that will save a lot of headache.
