| Summary | 0006060: History XML file is cp437 encoded, but says it's utf-8 encoded | ||||
| Description | I'm working on a program to interpret the XML, and ran into problems; Perl's XML::Simple library tripped on bytes 0xAE and 0xAF. Looking at the file, the context called for item quality labels - the '<<' and '>>' glyphs are what were expected, and the cp437 equivilants to those two bytes; this proves the encoding is cp437. But the main problem is line 1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?> The file is _NOT_ utf8, it is cp437. | ||||

Would suggest tagging this as Probable Quick Fix. It's should be as simple as changing the XML writer from encoding="UTF-8" to encoding="CP437". no other steps needed Not a huge deal but annoying enough |
|
|
(Another solution would be to convert those characters to UTF-8; I'm not sure if DF is able to do that already, though, but some stuff from https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/blob/master/library/MiscUtils.cpp might work if that's desirable.) |
