[sword-devel] BibleZ HD Beta - webOS Bible Reader App for the HP TouchPad

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Stephan,

Sorry for my '.' instead of '->' in my examples.  I've been in Java for
the past 3 weeks.

Most everything is UTF-8 these days, but in our past world, when things
were much more mixed, the proper way to get UTF-8 back was to use the
module render filter and make sure your markup filter manager specified
which encoded you desire (it defaults to UTF-8, so you're good).  So,
this should always give you UTF-8:

SWMgr confReader("/media/internal/.sword/install", new
MarkupFilterMgr(FMT_HTMLHREF));
...
string description =
module->RenderText(module>getConfigEntry("Description"));
...

RenderText(const char *buffer) will use that module's render filters on
the buffer and return the processed result.

The above MarkupFilterMgr will add all the correct filters to each
module to produce UTF-8 and HTMLHREF output, depending on the source
encoding and source markup.  So you should always get what you've asked for.

Troy
