Hi Daniel,

However, the charset value is used in htmlCurrentChar():

     if (ctxt->charset == XML_CHAR_ENCODING_UTF8) {

I'm trying to parse a HTML file encoded in ISO-8859-1 using 
htmlCtxtReadFile() and I'm getting encoding errors on some of the 
characters because they are not in UTF-8. If I use htmlReadFile() 
everything works fine. If I use htmlCtxtReadFile() and comment out this 
line of htmlCtxtReset():

     ctxt->charset = XML_CHAR_ENCODING_UTF8;

then everything works fine. However, if that line is not commented out, 
then the behaviour of htmlCtxtReadFile() is different from the behaviour 
of htmlReadFile(), and appears to be wrong. So I suggest replacing that 
line with this:

     ctxt->charset = 0;

which will truly reset the parsing context to what it was when it was 
created and give identical behaviour to htmlReadFile() and 
htmlCtxtReadFile().

Best regards,

Michael
