Encoding Preferences

To open the Encoding preferences page, go to Options > Preferences > Encoding. The following encoding preferences are available:

• Encoding for non XML files - specifies the default encoding the Syncro SVN Client uses to open non XML documents. This is necessary because non XML files have a large variety of formats and there is no standard mechanism for declaring the encoding that should be used for opening and saving the file. In case of XML files, the encoding is declared at the beginning of the file in a special declaration element or it is assumed to be the default value, which is UTF-8;
• Encoding errors handling - defines how to handle characters that cannot be represented in the specified encoding of the document when the document is opened. The available options are:
  • REPORT - displays an error dialog box with the character that cannot be represented in the specified encoding. Unrecognized characters are rendered as an empty box. This is the default option;
  • IGNORE - the character is ignored and it is not included in the document displayed in the editor panel;
    Attention: If you edit and save the document, the characters that cannot be represented in the specified encoding are dropped.
  • REPLACE - replace the character with a standard replacement character. For example, if the encoding is UTF-8, the replacement character has the Unicode code FFFD, and if the encoding is ASCII, the replacement character code is 63.
