webmin handles the module config page itself and uses latin1 there, while i use utf-8 on wlus pages. > Can anyone tell me conclusively: > - whether our modules use utf-8 or not? wlus does, as far as it can. > - if they do use utf-8, does that go for the entire module or only for the > lang/XX files (with the config.info.XX files, and module.info using the > webmin default?) lang/XX files are utf-8, config.info would need latin1. what is module.info? > - wether it is possible to autodetect the encoding used by a > module/different parts of a module? If so how? one can detect utf-8 by doing a iconf -f utf-8 -t utf-8. if that succeeds it is either pure ascii or utf-8. if it fails it *could* be a mix. that is an evil corner case which is not easy to handle in an automatic way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
