A simple reminder?

Simple, like so:

Code:

Name = "force all pages to display in standard character set"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
Limit = 16
Match = "UTF-8"
Replace = "ISO-8859-1"

The only problem comes when I view discussions on this topic, then everything gets converted, and it's real difficult to follow the train of thought....... I could, and did at first, use Match="charset=UTF-8", and build my Replace string the same way, but I thought that was overkill. If I was really into it, I'd use Bounds and the whole <meta*> string, and then I'd be sure that text on the page would be unmolested. But truly I don't really see too much need, in my neck of the interwoods anyway.

However, upon thinking about it a second time, as I wrote this, I now realize that my name for this filter is wrong - it doesn't force every page, only those that specifically call for UTF-8. If the web gets much more pedantic with all it's "but we gotta reach out to....." preachiness, then I will go back and inject this into every page, regardless of whichever charset was selected by the page's author.

HTH
