cmess - Assist with handling messed up encodings
VERSION
This documentation refers to cmess version 0.2.1
DESCRIPTION
CMess bundles several tools under its hood that aim at dealing with various problems occurring in the context of character sets and encodings. Currently, there are:
- guess_encoding
-
Simple helper to identify the encoding of a given string. Includes the ability to automatically detect the encoding of an input.
- cinderella
-
When characters are “double encoded”, you can’t easily convert them back – this is where cinderella comes in, sorting the good ones into the pot and the (potentially) bad ones into the crop…
- bconv
-
Convert between bibliographic (and other) encodings.
- decode_entities
-
Decode HTML entities in a string.
TODO: well, more of the description… ;-)
