hello all

As everyone, I still have encoding problems from time to time. Even if I can avoid most of them by experience, I am very ignorant about ANSI, UTF8 (to which I have a superstitious fervor) and whatsoever weird things
Sometimes I am proud to find the bug and to have spent hours for a "&" in a locale file..
Sometimes I am ashamed of having destroyed the ja-JP locale of a babelZillian friend, just with opening/closing a file with Pspad set for UTF8

So... Some of you seem to know much about that, some others are real hackers, some are dedicated to sorcery code ...

so please post your tricks and tips and knowledge here !

thank you for explaining, but I am so very goofy as you know, some points remain unclear for me.

1. For .dtd files, I always use PsPad set once and for all on uft8, and no encoding problem ever occurs with our weird characters : I just write " mêmes les élèves garçons mangeront du maïs où ils veulent" save it as it is and have it without problem when the extension runs.
Is it for dtd files that you use ANSI ? (I suspect I did not understand anything once again )

2. For .js and .properties file, I use just the same utf8 setting, BUT (as you know) I cconvert the special characters just before saving with a special file (see attached zip below) that I once and for all have patched in Pspad app folder.
Is it in this case that ANSI can be useful ?

Or else did you mean that the very recent builds of Firefox need to apply ANSI with extensions ?

Help, I am deep in a pretty kettle of fish !
