def latin1_to_html (unicrap):
  """This takes a UNICODE string and replaces Latin-1 characters with
      something equivalent in html. It returns a plain ASCII string. 
      This function makes a best effort to convert Latin-1 characters into 
      ASCII equivalents. It does not just strip out the Latin-1 characters.
      All characters in the standard 7-bit ASCII range are preserved. 
      In the 8th bit range all the Latin-1 accented letters are converted 
      to unaccented equivalents. Most symbol characters are converted to 
      something meaningful. Anything not converted is deleted.
