woh, I've been quite tired when writing this :D Of course I'd expect Scite to write a BOM when I choose "UTF-8 Cookie" and I do not expect a BOM when I choose "UTF-8" in the options menu. However Scite seems to do that the other way around, which I find very confusing. > I am not a Unicode guru, but I have just read a discussion on the > issues with UTF-8 and other encodings in the Lua mailing list.

So it seems there is a way however it may be crude (I suspect so) tom _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
