Locale/Encodings/HTML

Targets macOS
1

I have had some success on the Mac side with foreign languages working with my App but it doesn’t follow on the Windows side when I save the .html file out.

  • Set language to French
  • Create a file with textout.Encoding = Encodings.UTF8
  • Load in Safari works
  • Load in Edge shows incorrect characters where the language special characters are
    eg Bien habillé

ignoring the html file I am writing out. Is

textout.Encoding = Encodings.UTF8

The right encodings for Windows?

You also need to use ConvertEncoding function to make sure the text you write has that encoding.

Depends what you do. For certain uses, Windows uses encodings.WindowsANSI.

If you want to be able to display special (non ASCII) characters in a html file, put in the <head> block (before <title>):

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
