I had this problem a while ago:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=109100902605917&w=2
I'm wondering what the best solution is and which encoding is preferred
for handling special characters or when UTF-8 / ISO 8859-1 should/could
be used.
I can't see any reason why not to use Unicode charset with UTF-8
encoding only. It is supported by all common browsers ans allows you to
use *all* Unicode <http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/unicode-sample.html>
characters by just typing them into the source code.
Make sure that the charset information sent with HTTP header is
compliant with the document's encoding.
Most browsers will use it for encoding input in forms.
I have a similar experience (and still no solution for it). All my
source XML-files are UTF-8 encoded. Coocon generates UTF-8 encoded
XHTML.
Mozilla and Firebird display the national characters correctly. But
Internet Explorer and Opera show only garbage instead of the special
characters.
My XHTML-serializer is configured as follows:
<map:serializer mime-type="text/html" name="xhtml" ...>
<doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN</doctype-public>
<doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd</doctype-system>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</map:serializer>
All my XML-files contain the following directive:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
Aside from this I haven't implemented anything special regarding
character encoding.
Any help is appreciated,
thanx in advance,
Gerald
