Core.Encoding

TYPE: istring

DEFAULT: 'utf-8'

--DESCRIPTION--

If for some reason you are unable to convert all webpages to UTF-8, you can

use this directive as a stop-gap compatibility change to let HTML Purifier

deal with non UTF-8 input.  This technique has notable deficiencies:

absolutely no characters outside of the selected character encoding will be

preserved, not even the ones that have been ampersand escaped (this is due

to a UTF-8 specific <em>feature</em> that automatically resolves all

entities), making it pretty useless for anything except the most I18N-blind

applications, although %Core.EscapeNonASCIICharacters offers fixes this

trouble with another tradeoff. This directive only accepts ISO-8859-1 if

iconv is not enabled.
