Package: html2text
Version: 1.3.2a-6
Severity: minor
Hello,
As the information below says, I'm not using a UTF-8 locale. html2text
will however, on utf-8 html pages, produce UTF-8 text. Conversely, on a
UTF-8 system, html2text will, on latin1 html pages, produce latin1 text.
The recently added -utf8 option handles the UTF-8 on UTF-8 case, but
not the two cases above.
Generally speaking, there is no reason why the input and output charsets
should be related at all. For the input, html2text should recognize
the meta http-equiv tag; that should work for a lot of pages, else an
input-charset option can be provided. For the output, the current
locale's charset should be used (as returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET)
after calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"")); that should work in almost all
cases, else an output-charset option can be provided.
Yes, that means conversions. But that's the way charsets are supposed
to be handled. Note btw that for the conversions, one can just use
iconv_open(nl_langinfo(CODESET), page_charset), but can can also append
"//translit" to nl_langinfo(CODESET), so that iconv makes the
transliterations itself, i.e. turn curly quotes and long dashes into
equivalents in the target charset.

Changes:
html2text (1.3.2a-10) experimental; urgency=low
.
* debian/rules:
- Really install NEWS.Debian as documentation.
* debian/patches:
- 220-nobs-when-stdout-is-a-tty.patch: deleted, useless now, since
backspaces are not produced at all.

- 500-utf8-support.patch: refreshed.
- 510-utf8-implies-nobs.patch: deleted, useless now.
- New 510-disable-backspaces.patch: disable backspaces because parser
cannot produce them rightly in multi-byte sequences now.

and input html doesn't contain valid 'meta http-equiv' tag.
- Corrected to don't display debug info twicely (if -debug-parser or
-debug-scanner was supplied).
- Corrected: now parser always processes UTF-8 text, needed for proper
output recoding.
- Moved recoding code to separate function.
- Close input stream directly after read, not after the processing.
