RE: [docbook-apps] htmlhelp.encoding="windows-932" and Saxon


I'm using Saxon 6.5.2 and Java 1.4 (International). I've experimented
with several encodings, but have only gotten windows-932 (= shift-jis)
and ISO-2022 to produce output. With other encodings it complains about
characters not being available in that encoding. I think the encoding is
being loaded because with one version of Java I had installed (1.4.2) I
got an error "Failed to load windows-932".

I just discovered that to get full text search to work with Japanese
words, I to do the same conversion (unicode to ansi) on the html files.
Worst case, iconv -f UTF-8 -t SHIFT-JIS on each file fixes it. 

I suspect this is a question for the Saxon list. 

Thanks,
David

The problem might be that Saxon doesn't support this particular 
encoding. AFAIK newer versions of Saxon can handle all encodings 
supported by JVM. Are you sure that your JVM has support for 
windows-932? (I personally have never seen such encoding before, but I 
don't deal with CJK languages at all.)

This has effect only for HTML and XML output methods. HHC and HHK files 
are generated by text output method.
