Hi Stylus Studio Developers,

Is there a way to find the current character encoding of an opened document? Like a document properties window?

Thanks,
Jammy

If you are talking about XSLT documents, the encoding is visible in (and can be changed from) the "Params/Other" editing tab; of course you can also directly change the encoding attribute in the XML PI declaration.

If you are talking about XML documents, the current encoding is only visible through the XML PI declaration; but you can change it through the list of support character sets available under Edit > Change Encoding.

Hope this helps.

Hi Minollo I.,

The params/other tab does look like what I need. Thanks for help.

Do you know if the value in the "XSLT encoding:" field is the *actual* encoding of the document or is that value coming from the xml declaration?

Thanks,

There should never be any difference between the XML PI information and the *actual* encoding; if there is, then it's very easy that you get parsing/encoding errors when opening the document.

Stylus Studio relies on the file BOM (the file encoding information) to read the XML PI; but anything that follows is decoded according to the information contained in the XML PI declaration itself.

BTW, just to stress this again; the Params/Other tab describes the encoding of the XSLT itself, not of the XML document(s) accessed by the XSLT.

Hope this helps.

Yes I understand. Thanks for checking.

Thanks,
