Thank you. Seeking more carefully would have saved me a lot of tedious
typing... Replaced my own routine by this one, and it is working fine.
BTW: Wouldn't it be useful to overload it with a utf8 version?
It could be. Patches gladly accepted.
2nd remark: The sax unit in the same folder is also WideString-only.
From the Lazarus point of view, UTF8 would be preferrable as well. I
remember older experiments trying to read Excel files with sax which
suffered from a significant slowdown because of widestring-to-utf8
conversions.
The whole XML implementation in FPC is using Unicodestring.
Changing the sax unit to UTF8 does not make sense.
Michael.
