Highlight non-ASCII characters in bibtex file

Highlight non-ASCII characters in bibtex file

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I want to convert a UTF8 encoded file to ASCII and replace the
non-ASCII characters.
Is there a way of loading the file into emacs and highlighting all
non-ASCII characters?

Thanks,

Rainer

Hi,


thing-at-point-utils.el
  comes with an

`ar-highlight-ascii-atpt-mode'

which should make visible non-ascii in contrast

Should not be far to write the precise thing you are asking for.

Stuff is here:

When you try to save the buffer into a file with some 7- (or maybe 8- 
bit) encoding, then a *Warning* buffer will be opened with a list of  
characters that don't fit into the chosen "ASCII" encoding. Is that  
enough? A reg-exp isearch for characters of this list might highlight  
them...

Last time we discussed something similar to this i wrote a minor mode
to take care of it. See the file markchars in nXhtml.

That sounds like the thing I am looking for - but how can I use it? I am
a beginner when it comes to minor-modes major-modes and the inner emacs
workings.
