TextOutputOptions.Encoding Property
Set the character encoding of the text.
Syntax
public string Encoding { get; set; }
Remarks
The following are encodings recognized by HotDocs:
| Encoding | Comments |
|---|---|
| ANSI | Not recommended because ANSI is not portable. |
| UTF-8 | |
| UTF-16LE | Little endian UTF-16. |
| UTF-16 | Equivalent to UTF-16LE. |
| UTF-16BE | Big endian UTF-16. |
| windows-1252 | ANSI, but specifically the Windows 1252 code page. |
By default, all of the above UTF encodings use a byte order mark. To avoid using a byte order mark, the text "-NOBOM" may be appended to the encoding name; e.g. UTF-16-NOBOM. Alternatively, to ensure that a byte order mark is always included, the text "-BOM" may be appended to the encoding. When converting from RTF or DOCX to text, the default encoding is UTF-16 with a byte order mark.
If no encoding is specified, the conversion of RTF or DOCX to text uses a little-endian, UTF-16 encoding with a byte order mark included. If no encoding is specified, and the input template is plain text (TTX), then the encoding of the TTX template is used. The encoding of the TTX template is determined from the byte order mark if there is one. If there is no byte order mark, the encoding is interpreted as ANSI.
