[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3281) HTML output wrongly specifies
UTF-16 in header
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3281?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15205800#comment-15205800 ]

------------------------------------------
Snooping around the source I find that it really is hard-coded:

> Key: PDFBOX-3281
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3281
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: OS X 10.11.4, Java 1.8.0_73-b02
> Reporter: Aaron Madlon-Kay
> Attachments: testdoc.html, testdoc.pdf
>
>
> When running the command line {{ExtractText}} with the {{-html}} flag, the output file always has the following meta tag specifying UTF-16 regardless of the actual output encoding:
> {code:html}
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="UTF-16">
> {code}
> This causes editors that respect the meta tag (emacs, etc.) to garble the file content.
