Hello,
I am using BaseX to scan XML files, and most files are using implicitely the ISO-8859-15 encoding. Unfortunately, it seems that the internal XML parser is using by default UTF-8 encoding. This doesn't seem to be specified in the configuration files, or GUI properties.
Is there a way to force the internal parser to use another encoding?
Many thanks,
Guillaume

Dear Guillaume,
if a document contains no XML declaration, the XML specification assumes UTF8 as default encoding, which is why is documents with another encoding will be declared as non-wellformed. As there is no possibility of overriding this default, you'll have to convert your documents in advance, or add an appropriate XML declaration.
Sorry for that,
Christian

Written for BaseX 7.2. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
