    (1) replace_latex_accents.pl
        This script allows you to write special Hungarian and French characters in a simple way
        (using the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) charset), then convert them to their LaTeX-equivalents.
        Example: La'szlo'  =>  L\'{a}szl\'{o}
    (2) replace_french_accents_to_latex.pl
        This script converts a French accented text to LaTeX replacing the funny characters
        with their LaTeX equivalents.

    The script prints the HTML source that is built
