What Is WebNote?

WebNote outputs characters in the VNI-Internet Mail format, which shows Vietnamese characters with “real” accent marks instead of special characters as used in the VIQR typing convention. WebNote, however, supports both VNI-Internet Mail and VIQR. If you wish to send an email to or chat with people who are not using WebNote, you may select to output VIQR characters instead.

With WebNote, typing Vietnamese on the Internet is as easy as hand-writing. Accent marks can be placed anywhere and WebNote will correctly place the accents to their intended positions conforming to conventional spelling. Corrections are also easy, even w hen you choose to output VIQR characters.

Using WebNote in Email

WebNote also helps you read and write Vietnamese email in America Online, NetCruiser, etc. even though they don't permit font selection. (Select the command Learn to Use from WebNote's program menu for more information on how to do this).

Enhancements in VNI-Internet Mail as Compared to VIQR

Although both are 7-bit Vietnamese character sets, VNI-Internet Mail differs from VIQR maily in the following criteria:

• VNI-Internet Mail avoids using punctuation marks such as “.” and “?” for Vietnamese accent marks. Thus a Vietnamese text in the VNI-Internet Mail character set does not contain ambiguous characters, ie those that can be read as puctuation marks as we ll as accent marks, which are often seen in a VIQR text.
• Due to its lack of ambiguity, a VNI-Internet Mail text can be fully (100%) converted to VNI-ANSI, VNI-ASCII, or another 8-bit Vietnamese character set without suffering from the type of conversion accidents in which puctuation marks turn into extra (a nd also incorrectly placed) accent marks.
• In a VNI-Internet Mail text, you do not have to look for and isolate the real punctuation marks such as “.” or “?” from the preceding sentences by inserting a blank or a “/” as some people have done with their VIQR texts. The result is that your VNI-I nternet Mail text is clean, easy to revised, and more ready for print.
• VNI-Internet Mail avoids using the mathematical signs such as ( + - as Vietnamese accents. Some other less commonly used signs are used instead.
