Normalising text

Using Apfelstrudel to normalise a word or section of text is simple. Open a  New  window using the  File  menu command, then type or paste your text into the  Input  box, and press the  Tab  or  Enter  key. In this example, you will see the difference between the two apparently identical words café and café.

If the text needs to be normalised for use with HFS+ (Mac Extended file system), then  HFS+  will turn  red . Simply select the text in that box, and copy it: that has been normalised.

To check that it is now normalised, you can paste that text into the  Input  box and press the  Tab  or  Enter  key.

The  HFS+  colour will change to  green , and you can see that the hex codes in the  NFD  box are identical to those in your pasted text.
