Encoding Preferences

Syncro SVN Client lets you configure how character encodings are recognized when opening files and which encodings are used when saving files. To configure encoding options, open the Preferences dialog box (Options ⇒ Preferences) and go to Encoding.

The following encoding options are available:

Fallback character encoding

Specifies the default character encoding of non-XML documents if their character encoding cannot be determined from other sources (for example, it is not specified in the document or determined by the file type).

Note

For certain document types, the following encoding detection rules are used:

• For XML, DTD, and CSS documents, Syncro SVN Client tries to collect the character encoding from the document. If no such encoding is found, then UTF-8 is used.
• For JavaScript, JSON, SQL, XQuery, and RNC, the UTF-8 encoding is used.

Encoding errors handling

This setting specifies how to handle characters that cannot be represented in the character encoding that is used when the document is opened. The available options are:

• REPORT (default) - Displays an error identifying the character that cannot be represented in the specified encoding. Unrecognized characters are rendered as an empty box.
• REPLACE - The character is replaced 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.
• IGNORE - The error is ignored and the character is not included in the document displayed in the editor.

  Attention

  If you edit and save the document, the characters that cannot be represented in the specified encoding are dropped.
