Hi,
I have been making web pages in html since the mid 1990's. I bought a book and I thought I would start making pages in xhtml and css. I seem to be learning ok, but this charset thing has me confused. I read the charset has to be the same as what you save the page in. Is this true? If it is, what charset does Araneae save it in? The book recommends utf-8. Also, should it be placed between the head tags and not at the top?

Posted 3 years agoThat's one of the biggest shortcoming of Araneae - it doesn't support utf-8. However, saving in utf-8 is different or needed only if you use non-ANSI letters, like õäöü etc. So, in English you usually just don't need to save in utf-8.
If I have to save in utf-8, as my language is Estonian where õäöü exist in alphabet, then I make the file with Araneae, open it with Notepad and save it with Notepad in utf-8 encoding. Then open it in Araneae again and remove the BOM (some messy characters) from the beginning of the file that Notepad produce when saving in utf-8.
I hope Araneae will support utf-8 in future. (And searching from multiple files like it was supported in Araneae 4)
