UTF-8 Byte Order Marks in .html files

[Miguel Paraz <mp...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I found out - through a lot of trial and error - that if your .html
file has a Byte Order Mark, the <?xml encoding="utf-8" ?> at the top
of the document is ignored.
The document is treated as something else - I'm not sure what.

The effect is that the special output characters become the <?>
unknown characters.

Is this a known issue?
Thanks.

Hi Sven,
Thanks for pointing this out!

I do not need to file a JIRA request - I just wanted to know the
behavior, since it's not documented in the Wicket internationalization
wikis/blogs I found.

I'm using Notepad++ (on Windows) which has the choices "UTF-8" and
"UTF-8 without BOM," which to a newbie like me makes it appear that
having the BOM is the default.

Hi,

if your editor prefixes your templates with a BOM(1), Wicket is not able 
to recognize the encoding in your xml declaration, see 
org.apache.wicket.util.io.XmlReader#xmlDecl .

You might want to create a JIRA request, that Wicket should skip a 
leading BOM in the encoding detection.

Regards

Sven

Not sure what you mean by BOM (Bill Of Materials?)

However I have seen something odd with documents there were generated  
on a Mac with little "?" in various places.

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

No, I'm on Firefox 3 on Windows.

Do you have an idea why removing the BOM fixes it?

I think it might be your browser that is not displaying the unicode  
chars.
That you see the odd symbols at all means that the made it to the  
client side.

Are you on a Mac?
