I (and I'm sure many others) download the various XQuery specifications to my laptop for efficient and off-line reference. For some reason my brower assumes the html file (accessed using a file: URL) is ISO-8859-1, which screws up the document - including the names of some of the editors! (I would have thought that UTF-8 would be the default, since that is the general OS default on Fedora.) Adding this line: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> to the html files solves the problem. It seems like a harmless change that would make the .html files more robust. I assume it's just a matter of modifying a script somewhere. Could this be done? -- --Per Bothner [email protected] http://per.bothner.com/
