Does Jedit garble any HTML files?
Submitted by Hannes on Wednesday, 3 November, 2010 - 08:23
Hi,
I have Jedit with the Plugin Includes Parser for HTML pages and as a german citizen, I do use a lot of Umlaute (special characters) in the Include. The Head of the HTML file does show the entry that the endoding is utf dash eight (I can not include the sample code, because I already did write my question with the code mentioned and this board deleted it due to suspicious characters).
After inserting the Include Code into the main HTML page by the Includes Pager, all the Umlaute are shown totally garbled.

Is it correct that the Includes Parser does change the encoding into whatever else, but does not insert the special characters in the correct encoding? In utilities, Global Options, encodings the default character encoding is set to utf dash eight.

Is there any work-around? Normally, I do not bother to find a solution for faulty software, but I seem not to be able to find any other editor with includes capabilities working under Linux.

I tried to find a mode whereby Jedit would change the special characters into HTML entities on-the-fly during entering, as is possible for example with dreamweaver, but until now I did not find anything.

If there is a work-around or any solution I would be grateful for any hint!

Jedit Includes Plugin garbling HTML?

Okay, guys, thanks to everybody who looked into the community if there's somebody needing help.
In the meantime I found scriptly from www.webocton.de, which does everything as I needs it to, specialized on HTML coding, with project administration etc. It's MS-Windows, but will install and run with wine 1.2 from-the-shelf Smiling.
