The original message is at >http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/html-tidy/2005JanMar/0031.html I second your comments here. It depends on if they are parsing a buffer or a file. When parsing a buffer in a COM component, the character encoding is always UTF-16. TidyAtl forces the encoding to UTF-16, otherwise it would not work. Tidy will not emit entities for this output encoding. > >OK, Tidy cannot recognize the meta-tag and assumes I want ascii, in the > >config-file I tell him again to put out ascii - and in the output Tidy > >writes in the meta-tag that he used ascii and not Latin1(iso8859-1) - but > >then inside the body-tag there has to be a 'ü ü' and not a 'ü ü' ? > > > >So this constellation could not be correct, or did I misunderstood > >something? > >I agree, that seems to be a bug, though it's probably a bug in >Charles' wrapper or the software that uses the wrapper, not in >Tidy. Not a bug so much as a limitation of TidyLib. It has no ability to preserve entities in the input. It will only output character entities for the ASCII output encoding. However, Eric should contact the CMS vendor to verify the settings they use. hth, Charlie
