Hi Niels, Thanks for the info. I am currently converting Word's html output to UTF-8, using .NET, before sending the data to the server. The first version of the add-in will store html. But, our goal is to store all the documents in wiki syntax, which is then handled by the renderer. This renderer's output is in a standard encoding so that the users wont have the problems caused by Windows-1232. Thanks for telling me about this issue, I will definitely keep an eye on it.
