|
||
<p>Intelligent modern editors such as the <code class="literal">vim</code> program are quite smart and copes well with any encoding systems and any file formats. You should use these editors under the UTF-8 locale in the UTF-8 capable console for the best compatibility.</p>
|
||
<p>An old western European Unix text file, "<code class="literal">u-file.txt</code>", stored in the latin1 (iso-8859-1) encoding can be edited simply with <code class="literal">vim</code> by the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen">$ vim u-file.txt</pre>
|
||
<p>This is possible since the auto detection mechanism of the file encoding in <code class="literal">vim</code> assumes the UTF-8 encoding first and, if it fails, assumes it to be latin1.</p>
|
||
<p>An old Polish Unix text file, "<code class="literal">pu-file.txt</code>", stored in the latin2 (iso-8859-2) encoding can be edited with <code class="literal">vim</code> by the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen">$ vim '+e ++enc=latin2 pu-file.txt'</pre>
|
||
<p>An old Japanese unix text file, "<code class="literal">ju-file.txt</code>", stored in the eucJP encoding can be edited with <code class="literal">vim</code> by the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen">$ vim '+e ++enc=eucJP ju-file.txt'</pre>
|
||
<p>An old Japanese MS-Windows text file, "<code class="literal">jw-file.txt</code>", stored in the so called shift-JIS encoding (more precisely: CP932) can be edited with <code class="literal">vim</code> by the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen">$ vim '+e ++enc=CP932 ++ff=dos jw-file.txt'</pre>
|
||
<p>When a file is opened with "<code class="literal">++enc</code>" and "<code class="literal">++ff</code>" options, "<code class="literal">:w</code>" in the Vim command line stores it in the original format and overwrite the original file. You can also specify the saving format and the file name in the Vim command line, e.g., "<code class="literal">:w ++enc=utf8 new.txt</code>".</p>
|
||
<p>Please refer to the mbyte.txt "multi-byte text support" in <code class="literal">vim</code> on-line help and <a class="xref" href="ch11.en.html#list-of-encoding-values" title="Table 11.2. List of encoding values and their usage">Table 11.2, “List of encoding values and their usage”</a> for locale values used with "<code class="literal">++enc</code>".</p>

|

<p>XML text looks somewhat like <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" target="_top">HTML</a>. It enables us to manage multiple formats of output for a document. One easy XML system is the <code class="literal">docbook-xsl</code> package, which is used here.</p>
|
||
<p>Each XML file starts with standard XML declaration as the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></pre>
|
||
<p>The basic syntax for one XML element is marked up as the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen"><name attribute="value">content</name></pre>
|
||
<p>XML element with empty content is marked up in the following short form.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen"><name attribute="value"/></pre>
|
||
<p>The "<code class="literal">attribute="value"</code>" in the above examples are optional.</p>
|
||
<p>The comment section in XML is marked up as the following.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen"><!-- comment --></pre>
|
||
<p>Other than adding markups, XML requires minor conversion to the content using predefined entities for following characters.</p>

<p>There are many tools available to process XML files such as <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Stylesheet_Language" target="_top">the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Basically, once you create well formed XML file, you can convert it to any format using <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Transformations" target="_top">Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>The <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects" target="_top">Extensible Stylesheet Language for Formatting Object (XSL-FO)</a> is supposed to be solution for formatting. The <code class="literal">fop</code> package is in the Debian <code class="literal">contrib</code> (not <code class="literal">main</code>) archive still. So the LaTeX code is usually generated from XML using XSLT and the LaTeX system is used to create printable file such as DVI, PostScript, and PDF.</p>

<p>Mail (<a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol" target="_top">SMTP</a>) data should be limited to 7 bit.

<p>The standard mail storage format is mbox formatted according to <a class="ulink" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822" target="_top">RFC2822 (updated RFC822)</a>. See <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mbox</span>(5)</span> (provided by the <code class="literal">mutt</code> package).</p>
|
||
<p>For European languages, "<code class="literal">Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable</code>" with the ISO-8859-1 charset is usually used for mail since there are not much 8 bit characters. If European text is encoded in UTF-8, "<code class="literal">Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable</code>" is likely to be used since it is mostly 7 bit data.</p>
|
||
<p>For Japanese, traditionally "<code class="literal">Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP</code>" is usually used for mail to keep text in 7 bits. But older Microsoft systems may send mail data in Shift-JIS without proper declaration. If Japanese text is encoded in UTF-8, <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64" target="_top">Base64</a> is likely to be used since it contains many 8 bit data.
