[elinks-users] unicode conversion

Mon Jan 28 14:28:44 MST 2008

Hrrm.. Now that I look more closely at the results.. for either the
http-equiv tag, or using your command line fix, the result is that
it's placing the unicode replacement char (EFBFBD) where there is the
E0-E9 chars.

But é (E9) is a valid unicode char, the input is unicode and the
output is unicode. Does it need any additional information to decide
to (not) translate that character?

The two method's I've tested (with a patched v0.12) are:
(no elinks.conf for either method)

./elinks -no-home -eval 'set document.codepage.assume = "utf8"' \
  -eval 'set document.codepage.force_assumed = 1' \
  -dump -dump-charset utf8 -dump-color-mode 0 \
  ./$1 > out/$2

OR

./elinks  -dump -dump-charset utf8 -dump-color-mode 0 \
  ./$1 > out/$2

for this I added: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" />
to the <head>

In both cases, the results: (copied from less)
