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.
