Hi again,
sorry if this follow-up threatens to bring the thread off-list but
out of curiosity
where is the -8bit option documented? all info I could get is from
pdftex --help
-8bit make all characters printable by default
man pdftex did not bring anything, and in the PdfTeX pdftex-a.pdf
a search for 8bit does not bring anything either
I am not sure I understand what "make all characters printable by default"
says exactly. I know now that a catcode 12 ^^M will be printed as
character with ascii code 13, is that all there is to it? and how does
that related to "8bit" ?
it means that characters < 32 will be output as byte and not as
^^<letter> which is needed for proper round-trip usage and also makes
files acceptable for other applications
btw, the -translate-file option can be used for input mapping
luatex is an utf8 engine and if you want something not-8 bit or utf you
can use callbacks to implement whatever you want
in addition to this there are also catcodes involved and how these are
set up depends on the macro package (for instance you use \obeylines
which quite certainly has a different implementation in different
macropackages and that influences input end-of-line handling too)
