I have a Hebrew web page with this declaration:
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8-i">
CSE Pro 10 reports : "
The value for the "content" attribute specifies an unrecognized charset named "iso-8859-8-i"."
It seems to be a recognised encoding at Wikipedia: "
Nominally ISO-8859-8 is for “visual order”, and ISO-8859-8-I is for logical order" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-8)
Is this CSE error report correct then? if so what should it be? Just "ISO-8859-8"?
Thanks.

Hello,
I think that "ISO-8859-8" is what is normally used in HTML documents and "ISO-8859-8-I" is unnecessary in HTML type documents (please let me know if I'm wrong), but I will add "ISO-8859-8-I" to the list of recognized charsets in the next update.
Thanks!
