------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 24 12:33:20 +0000 2007 ------- Well. It seems that nmailhot was right about my tools being faulty, a bit. I'll explain why "a bit". I use SciTE as my text editor, which opened the newly exported MediaWiki file. Problem is that for some weird reason it opens it with wrong encoding. If I look under "File -> Encoding", I can see that the active encoding is "8 bit". If I change it to "UTF-8", "UTF-8 Cookie", "UCS-2 Big Endian" or "UCS-2 Little Endian", the non-ASCII letters seem to be fine. Then I decided to open it with WordPad, it showed me gibberish also. Then with Notepad, it seems that WinXP SP2 Notepad is capable of UTF-8 after all, because the chars were fine there. And the last tool I tried it with, is OO.o Writer itself. And guess what - it also didn't show me the non-ascii letters. I tried to browse through the menus and the Tools->Options menu, but I couldn't find a way to change the encoding. And perhaps the easiest way to check the problem would be to open with Firefox. You can verify the problem with your own eyes by changing the encoding to UTF-8 in Firefox. The text file is opened by default with ISO-8859-1 encoding. So here are my questions: 1) why some text editors can't recognize the encoding (OO.o Writer, SciTE, Wordpad)? Could it be, that there is some information missing from the OpenOffice MediaWiki export file header, because for example I can type non-ASCII letters into Wordpad RTF and open it with OOo Writer with no problems? I checked various combinations like creating a non-ascii .txt file with Notepad and opening it with Writer, Wordpad, Firefox, SciTE and then creating an RTF with Wordpad and opening it with Writer and then creating a .txt with SciTE and opening it with Writer, Wordpad, Firefox and Notepad. And probably some other combinations also. I really wasn't documenting that hard ;) 2) is it possible to change the encoding in OO.o similarly as I described in SciTE (and Firefox)? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
