PEG src_utf8--tjl: UTF8 as our global encoding in all sources

Status: Current

We are having lots of issues with docutils because we use Latin-1 encoding in our files to write e.g. "Jyväskylä". We're forward-looking in most of the other stuff we do. I suggest that we do the same in this matter: We should do the right thing and never look back.

I propose that we agree that the days of Latin-1 are past and move everything we do to UTF-8.

Issues

Changes

In all ff subprojects, convert all files containing high-bit characters (e.g. ä,ö) to UTF-8 encoding. (Including PEGs like this one)

Explain this in README, along with instructions for the most popular editors on how what to do.

Create a grep script which sniffs out Latin-1 ä, ö, Ä, Ö from new files.
