I too have been perplexed by how this works and am still stretching to get my head around it. Maybe some of us could work off-list to prepare a definitive document on how to convert a web site from one encoding (windows-latin1 a.k.a. cp1252) to another (utf-8), start to finish, using BBEdit. I've had to do this a couple of times now and am still unable to say exactly how I did it (or even if it's done right). We can post the result to the list if you want. If you're game, please contact me off-list. Sincerely, Ted Stresen-Reuter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
