R. David Murray added the comment: I got the impression from what I read that -e included additional control sequences, but perhaps I misunderstood and that only meant that the data stream was expected to *use* additional control sequences but the control codes themselves are part of the base codec?
I'm specifically thinking of this statement from the linked reference: "Because HTML uses the Unicode bidirectionality algorithm, conforming documents encoded using ISO 8859-8 must be labeled as "ISO-8859-8-i". Explicit directional control is also possible with HTML, but cannot be expressed with ISO 8859-8, so "ISO-8859-8-e" should not be used." The "cannot be expressed" seems to imply there are differences in the codec. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
