Tom Hummel:
I didn't know Scite uses a non-standard way to mark utf8 encoded files.
SciTE's use of cookies derives from Emacs although Emacs allows more elaborate metadata of which this is only one piece. It spread to other editors and then Python picked it up as the way to define file encoding: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/
Why not use a BOM instead? There is use for a cookie as it breaks with unicode standards while the BOM solves just that.
SciTE does allow using a BOM. It also allows using a cookie because that is a widely used convention. Neil _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list Scite-interest@lyra.org http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
