babel: problem with the output

Uwe Brauer writes: You must re-read the files to get correct display. Did you? Setting the default coding system changes the priority for reading and decoding files in the future, but does not affect existing buffer display because those files have already been decoded. Setting `buffer-file-coding-system', which people often expect to change the display, does not work either, for exactly the same reason. Buffer text is conceptually abstract characters and has *no* coding systems. Coding systems are applied on input and output, or on explicit application by a program or at user request. See also C-h v for file-coding-system-alist - Alist to decide a coding system to use for a file I/O operation. network-coding-system-alist - Alist to decide a coding system to use for a network I/O operation. process-coding-system-alist - Alist to decide a coding system to use for a process I/O operation. for ways to make this default apply specifically to babel.el buffers. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
