Question

Should i convert every single possible charcter in my xhtml/html code? for both encoding iso-8859-1 vs utf?

If yes then is there any software to convert any needed character (which should be always in entity code) in my xhtml/html. like after complete xhtml coding in dreamweaver or in any editor i will put all code in converter and will convert only needed character to entity code.

don't want to choose and convert single-single character.

Dreamweaver already convert HTML entity chars..

But you can use something like this with PHP:

$file = 'login.php';

echo '<pre>';
echo htmlentities(file_get_contents($file));
echo '</pre>';
