If I tack this on to the top of the html file I'm decoding it works: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
However, since everything I'm going to be viewing is likely in utf8, i figured I could just set the doc codepage via a local elinks.conf. I can't get this to work. The ./elinks.conf: set document.codepage.assume = "utf8" set document.codepage.force_assumed = 1 I invoke this as such: ./elinks -config-file ./elinks.conf -dump -dump-charset utf8 -dump-color-mode 0 ./test_fr.html > out/test_fr.txt Am I doing this incorrectly?
