------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 3 15:43:27 +0000 2007 ------- @mib: I agree with your suggestion on UTF-8. Thanks for your response. I will revise the patch shortly. I have a few comments regarding the handling of iso-8859-2. >we have to understand that after applying the patch, documents will only loaded correctly into text editors whose encoding is set to ISO 8859-2/Windows 1250. But that's the (unfortunate) design of code pages; there is no way to ensure that a text document encoded in one encoding is displayed correctly in another encoding, which is also why we prefer unicode today. But that doesn't mean that we should refuse to export such document with that encoding if the user explicitly chooses to do so by setting the encoding in the Option dialog. >If a document is loaded into an editor that has a different encoding set, characters above 128 may be displayed incorrectly. This is expected, and that's why the document includes the encoding information so that the editor knows which codepage to use when loading. >Using the entities here as it is the case today ensures that documents are editable regardless of of the encoding that is set in the editor. Don't almost all editors these days offer encoding options when opening a text document? I'm a bit puzzled by this response; it appears that the editor you use doesn't seem to support anything other than ASCII range... Or, is there any valid use case where this behavior (of encoding everything above 128 regardless of user-selected encoding) is needed? Thank you for your response.
