[sword-devel] StripText() result not converted to UTF-8?

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi Troy,
thanks for the reply.

The latin2utf8 does already the conversion.
Maybe it's possible to let the thml2plain output cp1252 by default and somehow 
plug in the latin2utf8 filter if the utf8 charset has been chosen with the 
EncodingFilterMgr?

I guess cp1252 should remain to be the default output of the thml2plain 
filter, shouldn't it?
