So just to be certain, if a user has some existing textual content (e.g.
a description of some construct) in a non-UTF-8 source (e.g. a Word
document or HTML page) and pastes into a text area in the Archetype editor:
A) All (mappable) non-UTF-8 chars would be transformed into UTF-8 chars?
B) What about unmappable chars etc ?
e.g. in our WYSIWYG XHTML editor for HL7 Mif we had to put in a decoder e.g.
String charSet = "UTF-8";
<cut>
Charset charset = Charset.forName(charSet);
CharsetDecoder dec = charset.newDecoder();
dec.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
dec.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
i.e. it just drops the chars which are either malformed or unmappable.
What happens wrt the Archetype editor?
