Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Choosing a characterset for DocBook
I have recently transformed a collection of documents from Word to DocBook. Result: no more inconsistencies or references to non-existing chapters or figure. Basically I am very happy with the result. The editing have been done on a Unix platform with Emacs. Occasionally, when copying text from a word document, Saxon protests (actually Aelfred protests), complaining over "bad continuation of multi-byte UTF-8 sequence", which have been a problem, since I have chosen the ISO-8859-1 encoding (don't remember why). Now I am going to release my colleague on the document. They are going to use a myriad of windows editors (Word, Notepad, etc in different language versions), and I predict this is going to cause a lot of problems. Does anybody have any experience with this issue ? Should I chose another encoding UTF-8 or what ? And then why ? Since I am properly the only one on the Unix platform, what would be the best approach. Regards Jens
