Description ilya_evseev 2004-11-22 11:47:04 UTC 
When Writer opens HTML with russian characters (in default Windows-1251
encoding) that contains <META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html;
charset=windows-1251"> header tag, all is displayed fine.

But when this META-tag is omitted, html document is not detected as cyrillic,
i.e, it's displayed like "ñèñòåìíûé" (central-european characters having same
ASCII codes with russian chars in CP1251) and "Cyrillic Document" menu (provided
by CyrillicTools 1.2 library) is hidden from the main menubar.

My default language in Windows XP is russian, my OO build is russuan too
(1.1.3_ru_msi, downloaded via http://www.openoffice.ru)

Ctrl+A, Format, Characters, Language = Russian doesn't helps...

Reassigned to ES.
Comment 3 eric.savary 2004-11-22 13:16:56 UTC 
There is no automatic charset recognition in OOo.
HTML documents usually contain encoding information which OOo reads.
One could think about a mechanism to "guess" the encoding from the file content.

ES->BH: see 102270 for an internal version of this enhancement.
Comment 4 ilya_evseev 2004-11-22 13:32:52 UTC 
I don't need automatic charset recognition, but I strongly need two features:

First, when webpage contain no META CHARSET tag, assign default OS charset
($LANG under Linux, HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage under
Windows?), or default OO charset (Service-Settings-Languages-?what's?more?).

Second, characters charset for entire document or selected block should be
easily switched like Word does (Ctrl+A, Font: 'Arial'->'Arial Cyrillic' or
something like).

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
