This file describes provides some guidelines for displaying web pages in
various encodings.
1. The perl version should be at least 5.8 (I think this is a requirement
disregarding the encoding issues, though)
2. It is best to work with 'encoding' set to utf-8. Other possibilities are
untested, probably won't work, and will anyway have problems with some web
pages.
3. Web pages are supposed to specify the encoding they use. Sometimes they
don't, sometimes they specify it incorrectly. The value of
g:browser_assumed_encoding is used when the encoding can not be deduced.
If you know the encoding, you might try setting the value of this variable
to it, and then reload the page.
4. If you see stuff like „ instead of actual characters, you need to
re-install HTML::Parser. When installing it, answer 'y' to the question
about unicode entities
Remark: It is no longer necessary to make any modification to
HTML::TreeBuilder, as it is now dealt with internally (But that bug may
affect other applications using this module).
If you still see any encoding problems (as well as other problems), please
report them, with the page where it happened.
