Hallo,

I work all the time with good old mkii-context, but I have had a lot of problems last time, which could be solved easely if I switch to mkiv. So I wonder if I should change. The main argument for me to stay with mkii is the following:

I have a lot of lua scripts withhin scite which are preprocessing my textfiles (string.gsub etc.) These scripts depent on ansi-code and do not work with unicode too.

An other problem I have, is to teach scite to use utf-8 per default. (code.page=65001) does not work for me. I have tried this with a lot of versions of scite.

code.page=65001 output.code.page=65001

Has anybody experiences with scite-lua-scripts and unicode?

it depends on what you do but normally lua does not care about funny characters in strings an option is to run the script outside scite and pipe data back Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
