[Aptitude-devel] All documentation should be in UTF-8 encoding

[Miroslav Kure]

Hi,

Etch was the first Debian release using UTF-8 encoding by default.
Now, with Lenny approaching, I believe all files containing
different characters than pure ASCII should be UTF-8 encoded.

Currently the documentation generated from docbook sources
is by default encoded to ISO-8859-1 and therefore not very readable
in UTF-8 environment.

The following patch changes the output encoding for html and text
transformations: 

diff -r b9aed5b27b3a doc/aptitude-html.xsl
