Text commands: all encodings

#decl459#
This command gives a `ring' accent, for example `o̊' can be typed |o̊|.
#decl464#
This command produces a German `SS', that is a capital `ß'. This letter can hyphenate differently from `SS', so is needed for entering all-caps German.
#decl466#
This command is used to build `circled characters' such as |©|. For example |#tex2html_nomath_inline2015#| produces #tex2html_nomath_inline2016#.
#decl471#
This command is used to separate letters which would normally ligature. For example `fi' is produced with |fi|. Note that the `f' and `i' have not ligatured to produce `fi'. This is rarely useful in English (`shelfful' is a rare example of where it might be used) but is used in languages such as German.
#decl473#
This command produces a `visible space' character `_'. This is sometimes used in computer listings, for example `type hello_world'.
#decl476#
These commands produce characters which would otherwise be accessed via ligatures:
ligature character command
|---| --- |---|
|--| -- |--|
|¡| ¡ |#tex2html_nomath_inline1578#|
|¿| ¿ |#tex2html_nomath_inline1580#|
|``| `` |``|
|''| '' |''|
|`| ` |`|
|'| ' |'|
The reason for making these characters directly accessible is so that they will work in encodings which do not have these characters.

These commands allow access to characters which were previously only available in math mode:
