Encoding

The editor internally works with UTF-8 encoding.

  • You can save the encoding to the desired one by selecting the button on the toolbar and further in the menu "Setting the file encoding for saving". By this action you do not save the file, but only let the editor understand that if the file is saved, it will be saved in the encoding you have chosen. Also, with a quick start, the encoding you selected will be used.
  • The menu "Convert document on the fly" is intended for ASCII files. With this function, you can convert even an unsaved document from one encoding to another. It can be useful for mixing text in different ASCII encodings.
  • The function "ReOpen file in encoding" is intended for precise specification of file encoding. The editor automatically recognizes only the Unicode and UTF-8 encodings (with BOM). If the editor does not recognize the encoding in the file, then the editor will ask you whether it is worth trying to open the file in a different encoding, which is in the list of possible (120 possible encodings). You can re-open the file, specifying which encoding should be used to recognize the characters.
  • You can specify the encodings you need in the menu items using the menu item "Number of encodings in the menu"
  • Specify the default encoding for future files to be opened using the menu item: "Setting the system default encoding". Or leave the "Default System" item, then the editor will automatically detect your system encoding.
