Re: [platform-help-dev] How to display international characters?

Martha,

1.  Make sure the file is correct,
and specifies the character encoding, for example file saved in UTF-8 would
contain a line:
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=utf-8"> in the HTML head.

2.  Use news eclipse-platform newsgroup
for more questions unrelated to development of Eclipse help system.

3.  Check if https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72131
has any answers, otherwise open a new bug for help system and attach sample
files.

Thanks.

Subject	[platform-help-dev] How to display international characters?

Hello, 

I have an html file which is encoded with UTF-8.  The file contains
Japanese characters.  When I display the file using my default browser
(Mozilla), the characters show up correctly. However, when I display the
file using the Eclipse help system, the characters do not show up at all.

The same thing happens with Arabic characters. 

What do I need to do to show these characters in the online help?

Thank you, 
Martha
