[rkward-devel] output character encoding

Fri Feb 5 18:31:39 UTC 2010

hi,

i don't know if this is related to me dealing with SPSS data from windows 
machines a lot: when the output window contains umlaut strings from character 
variables, i always have to manually switch the encoding to UTF-8 (in the view 
menu) to get a correct display. it's the default encoding on my system. it 
would be nice if i could make this a permanent setting somehow.

then i played with the rk_out.html file a little. i thought it could use a 
proper header and just added some lines to it by hand:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head></head>
 <body>
     [ rest of rk_out.html ]
 </body>
 </html>

this also corrected the malformed umlaut characters, because they're rendered 
with the given encoding. so i think a permanent setting should probably only 
affect this header section, which would first have to be added to the output 
of course ;-) what do you think?

viele grüße :: m.eik
