Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: SciTE Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Holger Jakobs (holgerjakobs) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: encodings Initial Comment: SciTE recognises some kind of "cookie" like # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- telling that a specific file is encoded in UTF-8. So far, so good. In case of XML files, mentioning the encoding in the XML declaration is also recognised: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> Actually, as long as no other encoding is declard, the XML standard says the encoding has to be UTF-8. SciTE fails to obey to this rule. It would also be best if SciTE took the encoding of all text files from the variable LANG existing at least in most Unix versions. LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 clearly tells that the standard encoding is UTF-8, so there is no reason to use any 8-bit-encoding then. At least there should be a way of making all new files (which of course cannot already have the above mentioned "cookie") to use UTF-8. I have not been able to find anything suitable for the properties files. Setting code.page=65001 had no effect.
