Documentation, legal charsets

Postby MikeGale » Mon Sep 18, 2006 11:30 pm

When testing I thought of running some encodings other than ANSI and UTF-8. (I abandoned the idea.)

When looking at that I couldn't find a list of valid values for the charset (http-equiv/content-type and it's really an encoding!) in the documentation.

I think it would be valuable to have a list of valid values, akin to the list of valid Doctypes.

Hi Mike,

Better support for encodings is work I still need to do for a future version. A lot of work was done in v8.0 for the validator to support UTF-16 internally so the foundation has be laid.

That's good news. (Internationalising content is still an ugly area. Some of the issues being to make sure that nobody and noprogram damages work already done.)
