Re^2: replacement for deprecated encoding pragma

PerlMonks is assumed by the browsers to be using the Latin-1 encoding. Anything entered into text entry fields but not fitting into Latin-1 is encoded into HTML entities. They work in the <pre> tags, but <code> tags are processed specially not to let anything HTML-looking be interpreted as HTML, so they are double-encoded on output. The result is that

привет

works, but привет doesn't. So it goes.

Well....And how does this justify broken HTML code? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

You see, changing pre to code defeated the purpose of demonstrating the difference. In code view, you can't see the way it supposed to look.	[reply]

Narrowing down a problem to the essential is the first step of clever debugging. You want help for your Unicode problems, broken markup makes your post unreadable and will repel answers.

Are the HTML tags surrounding your `<pre>` (well, now `<code>`) tags necessary? Maybe simply posting the Cyrillic text is enough, and then you can use `<pre>` tags without needing to entity-encode your HTML?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
