manual encoding problems
Hello,
I noticed some rendering problems in Mutt's manual, as HTML and TXT,
online and in tarball:
-1) <URL:http://dev.mutt.org/doc/manual.html> has charset conflicts:
· HTTP server says Latin-1, HTML metas say UTF-8.
· File contains both Latin-1 (many 0xA0 no break spaces), and some
UTF-8 sequences (0xCB9C small tilde, 0xE2809D closing double quotes, and
some such).
Tarball's 1.5.12 manual.html is OK: Correct pure UTF-8.
-2) Both online and tarball HTML use *small* tilde U+02DC, when the
explained syntax needs normal tilde U+007E (as '~' in "~/file").
Copy/pasted examples may fail.
-3) Online dev manual.txt has no *bold* nor _underline_.
-4) Tarball 1.5.12 manual.txt is left/right justified. That's a no-go:
Ugly paragraphs with fixed non-proportional fonts, and anyway such
justification fails when viewed with variable spacing fonts.
Bye! Alain.
