The FAQ entry http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.10 describes how to index documents in other languages, but the snag is that you have to choose a "locale" that makes use of the character encoding used in your documents. I don't know of any locales on UNIX/Linux systems that use windows-1250 encoding. If you can find, or build such a locale, that would certainly be one way to proceed. (I unfortunately wouldn't know how to do either, so I can't advise you any further on those approaches.) You'd then need to indicate that htsearch results are also in windows-1250 encoding, by means of a tag like this in your header.html: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> The other option is to use an external converter that maps all windows 1250 characters to their iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-2 equivalents, and use a locale for that new encoding. Your search results would then be in that new encoding, so you'd need to change the meta tag above in your header.html accordingly, or you can remove it altogether for iso-8859-1 encoding which is the default. You can call this external converter (say we call it w1250toiso) from htdig via this config attribute in your htdig.conf: external_parsers: text/html->text/html-internal /path/to/your/w1250toiso See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#external_parsers for details, and note the distinction between parsers and converters. I'm suggesting you use a converter, not a parser. The arguments to the script are the same, but the output of the converter will be HTML, not parser records. -- Gilles R.
