Oxygen XML Forum

Hi,

using OxygenXML 11.2 on MacOS X, I've noticed that sometimes Javascript files are displayed as garbage. To better illustrate the problem see here:

I should add that all files are managed by Subversion (on a Windows server), so maybe it has something to do with line endings?

Another case was when I downloaded a Javascript file that was UTF-8 and tried opening it with OxygenXML. I actually had to cut the contents and paste it in a new file that I created with OxygenXML.

If it helps, I can also provide the source code files.

Thanks for your help (in the meantime, I'll be using Dashcode or TextEdit ),
Jakob.

Hello,

This looks like an encoding problem.
Look in Options -> Preferences -> Encoding at the option "Encoding for non XML files". Oxygen uses the encoding specified here for all non-XML files(JavaScript included) without detecting the encoding of the file.
Change this option to UTF8 and try to reopen the file in Oxygen.

Adrian

Thanks Adrian, I did what you suggested and it works. Thanks a lot! What's the difference between Unicode (the previous setting) and UTF-8?

Jakob.

The two mentioned encodings don't have much in common:
