Re: utf-8 encoding when building

This is a status update about some encoding issues we have had building and serving Fedora Core documents. This came to a head recently because the release notes I built were utf-8 encoded but fedora.redhat.com was not specifying that in the <meta> tag, so the pages were being served as ISO-8859-1 (Apache default, iirc) and had funny characters. Today we adjusted the page templates to use UTF-8, which removes all the ugly characters for those docs, and introduces a few character problems in docs built using other character sets. Examples of the latter are the Stateless Linux Tutorial and the Apache SELinux doc. The problem there is not as visually acute, and I can rebuild them with a UTF-8 envar and see if that fixes stuff.

I'm not sure what we are going to do about all this, but my feeling is that we should *start* from wherever the Fedora Core default is. If that is UTF-8, that's what we should be using as a baseline. - Karsten -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
