--- Comment #3 from Bruce Fowler <[email protected]> 2012-03-29 19:29:24 UTC --- Thanks for the reference. I have read the Wikipedia article. It appears to relate entirely to Unicode encoding. In relation to UTF-8 it says, "The Unicode Standard does permit the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require or recommend its use." It further states, "the need for a BOM arises in the context of text interchange, rather than in normal text processing within a closed environment" In any case, I don't want my data saved in UTF-8 for this particular application, but rather in plain ASCII. I tried setting the Tools/Options/Load save->HTML compatibility/Character set to Western Europe (ASCII/US), but the BOM is still there. I can appreciate the utility of the BOM for information interchange, but not for local work with Postscript programs and shell scripts. Perhaps the appropriate fix is to have an option in "load/save" that says, "I really want plain ASCII." I wish I were knowledgeable enough to send you a patch, but the LibreOffice code is a bit formidable! Thanks for your interest and help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
