Core.Encoding
TYPE: istring
DEFAULT: 'utf-8'
--DESCRIPTION--
If for some reason you are unable to convert all webpages to UTF-8, you can
use this directive as a stop-gap compatibility change to let HTML Purifier
deal with non UTF-8 input.  This technique has notable deficiencies:
absolutely no characters outside of the selected character encoding will be
preserved, not even the ones that have been ampersand escaped (this is due
to a UTF-8 specific <em>feature</em> that automatically resolves all
entities), making it pretty useless for anything except the most I18N-blind
applications, although %Core.EscapeNonASCIICharacters offers fixes this
trouble with another tradeoff. This directive only accepts ISO-8859-1 if
iconv is not enabled.
