Templating default encoding

Andy Knipp

OK, so I am really confused here.

We are translating some pages, HTML everywhere say UTF-8. These are all generated from templates, on Windows 2003 TS 6.7.1.

When the 3rd party sent the DCRs, they had the funky characters (ü) rather than the encoded &# 1234;

No big deal the page should support that.

So I generate the page, I get garbage. Open the HTML in notepad, save it explicitly as UTF-8 and it works. The funny thing, according to iwpt_encoding.ipl UTF-8 is the only option.

This is the same for regen, preview or workflow (iwpt_compile). No where do I override the default.

Any ideas ?

I have no freaking idea what is going on.
