Feature #235: default charset of rdoc

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
• Target version: 1.9.1 Release Candidate

[znz (Kazuhiro NISHIYAMA)]

=begin
I think that default charset of rdoc should be 'utf-8'.
The current default 'iso-8859-1' is not useful, because it can not include characters in Japanese and/or other languages, and not supported by ruby(1.8.x) interpreter.
=end

Not sure sending this directly to this list is the right thing to do,
but I fully agree.

Regards, Martin.

Sorry, I wrote last message in Japanese,

Spec should be following,

• the default encoding of rdoc should be US-ASCII (as the default of source encoding)
• rdoc should recognize magic comment and use it as the encoding of the document.
• if conflict encoding because of partial document or something,
  raise Exception.

I agree with Yui for the input encoding. The default for output should be UTF-8, however.
An exception should be raised if the actual encoding and the declared encoding on input
don't agree. An exception should not be raised if data from two or more input documents
in different encodings is combined.

There are two more tasks.

• An exception should be raised? (I think it should)
• Who does this do? Naruse?

• An exception should be raised? (I think it should)
  of course, the exception is maybe Encoding::IllegalByteSequence
• Who does this do? Naruse?
  i do.

Default output encoding of RDoc is UTF-8 now (soon to be committed to trunk).

Unfortunately no conversion to UTF-8 is currently performed. I lack experience to do this properly.
