What is the use of the option in DHE called: Generate UTF8 files when needed and/or Force UTF8 encoding when needed?
What does this do? What's the difference between utf8 and charset=iso-8859-1?
Some of my pages are generated using utf8 and others iso-8859-1 but I need them all to be iso-8859-1.
Why would for instance this page have an utf8 encoding and this page and ISO-8859-1 encoding?
The only major difference I can see between the two is the use of a javascript mouse over on the utf8 page.

But if that's the case why would dhe export, for example, this page
with utf8?
I see no reason for it.
Could you tell me why? |

It's quite simple:
for example if you are a Japanese user and want to write Japanese simbols into a WEB page you must use special UNICODE charsets like UTF8 because you are using more than 256 possible ASCII characters(Japanese has many and many simbols). The UTF8 permits people to write WEB pages using ANSI characters.
I suggest you to leave those options checked ;-)

Wow I didn't understand any of that .
Could you try to explain this to me again but like you would to a child or something.
By the way sorry for having this thread in the wrong section. Feel free to move it to the right one.

Hello Martin,
The UTF8 encoding permits people to use UNICODE characters (UTF16) using only ANSI strings. This encoding is very used on the internet and it's compatible with every country.
-Generate UTF8 files when needed and/or
This writes the destination file using the UTF8 encoding when UNICODE chars are found
-Force UTF8 encoding when needed?
This write to the Page Encoding attribute the UTF8 one, when UNICODE chars are found |
