It should be possible to use UTF-8 with PmWiki, but it will "break" content which is already using latin-1 characters. This content would have to be reviewed and changed accordingly. That would be one solution. Another, probably preferable solution would be to use different character sets based on the language being used. This concept seems to be more or less integrated into PmWiki already. The only thing that would need changing with this approach is the language bar on top. The problem with that is that it won't be possible to use the native language names on pages that use for instance latin-1, since they won't be able to display characters not in latin-1 correctly. A possible solution to this would be to have one language bar in each language and use the translated names of each language in the language bar. I'm probably going to have some free time later today and will take a closer look at possible solutions. Cheers, Thierry
