Berin Loritsch updated LOG4NET-459:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Due to a character encoding problem, important characters like < and > and 
whatever character is used as a leader in the object hierarchy are completely 
mangled and hinders readability.

For an example see:

http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.html

Something in the build processing is messing things up, or the HTML is really 
UTF-8 but we are calling it "Windows 1252".  See the following line the header 
section of the HTML:

{code}
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252" />
{code}

By manually changing that line to 

{code}
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
{code}

The readability improves, but is still not the correct character encoding.  Not 
sure what the encoding is supposed to be, or if the tool is introducing another 
layer of mangling.

The API docs really help, but having to sort through visual noise doesn't help.
