It just does not work.
The page, even if declared, is still *not truly* encoded in utf-8. saxon will
still have an error
(browsers could care less, they dont work on the same low level processing as
far as I can tell).
Unless I have a header such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> \\I keep the dtds on my hdd for indexing
purposes
<html>
<head>
<title>Xrisma.org - Source Texts in Catholic Theology</title>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Style-Type' content='text/css' />
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html' charset='utf-8' />
<link rel='stylesheet' href='$SkinDirUrl/xrisma.css' type='text/css' />
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='$SkinDirUrl/favicon.ico'/>
<base target="content"/>
<!--HTMLHeader-->
</head>
It is full of byte errors. (ie the server is outputing iso bytes, not utf-8).
Delete that first line and you are toast. That is fine, except that it is a
hack. I will leave
it like this, but this is just a FYI for those on windows boxes at least.
PS: any tips on converting between true utf-8 and the #nnn; sequence in
ROSpatterns and/or in
markups? I will write a verbose if necessary, unless someone knows any type of
command/shorthand.
