Hmm. An XHTML document with encoding="utf-8" should not have "swedish national characters" in it, should it? Upon reading the file, Emacs will set its coding system to mule-utf-8, so it's no surprise than high-bit, non-valid utf8 byte sequences appear as \xxx... I've created a document with your header, and put an "É" in it with notepad. Emacs shows this char as \311. I would not consider this an error :) -- /L/e/k/t/u _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
