set OPTION/HTML-compatibility to WINDOWS 1252 start a new HTML-page tag charset is set to charset=windows-1252 type in the german Umlauts äöüÄÖÜß these characters will be saved as html-entities ( ä=ä) so Windos-1252/latin1 is a subset of CP 1252 only there are some other glitches within the editor, esp. the reformating of code, which makes it difficult to edit/repair code, however, this issue is really unneccessary, please implement foll windows-1252-support. martin
No. I think we should simply stop trying to be an HTML editor, and remove that feature. No use trying to polish a turd.
Now created a proposal to remove the turd: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Proposals_for_removing_features#Writer.2FWeb
I think we can just close this as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
I am not sure, if it makes sense to close this issue. All browsers and text-editors are supporting the full 8-bit of this (and other) codepage, whereas LO is still honouring only the 7-bit-art of it and changes characters above 80hex according to the naming character reference. This is an unneccessary step of reencoding, which causes problems when re-using text in other programs (esp. search and ordering, in editors,XML etc) By that I intend to reopen this issue. mh P.S.: Hope it was not ment seriously to drop the minimal-support of HTML.
