Subject: | please add more cyrilic and hebrew encodings |
Hello,
Please consider adding more encodings to XML::Parser.
Some of them are available here:
http://cvs.livejournal.org/browse.cgi/livejournal/cgi-bin/XML/Parser/Encodings/
windows-1251 is main Cyrillic encoding for MS Windows. koi8-r is main
Cyrillic encoding for UNIX-like systems. Without these two XML::Parser
is simply deficient as for Russian communities.
windows-1255 is a wide-spread Hebrew encoding.
The discussion is available here: http://zilla.livejournal.org/986
There is also windows-1252 encoding there, which was also added in
recent XML::Parser releases, but please note that windows-1252.enc file
differs from what was added. So this needs to be checked, as Anatoly
claims that windows-1252 mapping was taken from the authoritative
source. The discussion is here:
http://zilla.livejournal.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440
There is also ibm866 encoding for XML::Parser (the main Cyrillic
encoding for MS-DOS), which is available here:
