  • base85.hexToBase64 -- from HEX to Base64
  • base85.hexToText -- HEX to text
  • base85.textToBase64 -- from text to Base64
  • base85.textToHex -- text to HEX
  • base85.base85To128 -- from base85 to Base128
  • base85.base128To85 -- from Base128 to base85
  • base85.align85 -- align symbols to vc85 charset

• Base85 data-blocks highlighting by <~ ... ~> (when selected "base85" language)

You can find these menu items by right-clicking on the selection:

ASCII85

This is a standard ascii85 charset strictly from ! to u. Regex: [!-u].

This charset is compatible with all ascii85-encoders/decoders.

vwx85

vwx85-charset differs from ASCII85 only by replacing the following three characters:

• " to v
• ' to w
• \ to x

This allows you to quote a string containing vwx85-encoded data without experiencing character conversion issues.

For decoding, if you want to use a decoder that does not support this substitutions, you must first change these three characters back and then use the standard ascii85-decoder.

vc85

• In vc85 charset all the symbols are visually different from each other.
• All special characters (except for "_") are replaced with letters of the Cyrillic alphabet.
• Thus, the vc85 understands two variants of characters: ascii85 and alternative.

Alternative symbols are listed in the table below in the second column, next to the ascii85 ones:
