gb2312 encoding

[alex242]

Hello,

I have some problems with HTML documents in gb2313 (simple chinese) encoding. After using Tidy I get some unreadable characters. Example of document: http://www.chemspider.com/ArticlesHandler.ashx?type=art&id=69

my Tidy config file:

output-file: res.html
error-file: error.txt
char-encoding: utf8
output-bom: yes
output-encoding: utf8

I've already spent several days trying to solve this problem and without any success... so, if sombody can give some advise how to work with different encodings in Tide, it will be much appreciated.

best regards,
Alex

Hi,

You need to convert your files from whatever encoding they are in
(gb2313 in your case) to UTF8. iconv is an option.

Alex,

Try this: http://www.iconv.com/iconv.htm

I never knew there were so many character sets!

I almost had ASCII memorized at one point programming Commodores...
