Hello All As I live in England I don't need to know much about character encodings and locale issues but I have picked up the general impression that UTF-8 is a good thing and that ISO-8859 is part of a set of legacy character encodings that will eventually be replaced by unicode.
When I look at the book I see it's encoded as ISO-8859 text: file ~/public_html/BLFS/index.html /home/andy/public_html/BLFS/index.html: HTML document, ISO-8859 text Which is fine, it's written in English for an English speaking audience. However, I'd prefer to see it as UTF-8. Many of the xml files have at the top: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> A simple sed can change them to UTF-8. The only other change needed is to tidy.conf which has: input-encoding: latin1 output-encoding: latin1 Change that to utf8 and it's all done: file ~/public_html/blfs-book-xsl/index.html /home/andy/public_html/blfs-book-xsl/index.html: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text Would anyone mind if I made these changes?
