[DOXIA-278] Character encoding autodetection fails for APT source files

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major

Description

Doxia unnecessarily forces all APT source files to be encoded in ISO-8859-1. Files encoded in UTF-8 can have garbage characters as a result. Doxia should be able to autodetect the encoding of the APT file to prevent this problem, as it already does for XML (see DOXIA-133).

A test case is attached. It includes two APT source files, one encoded in ISO-8859-1 and another encoded in UTF-8. Both contain the copyright symbol. To reproduce the problem, simply run "mvn site" on the project and open the target/site/test-utf8.html and target/site/test-iso-8859-1.html. The file encoded with ISO-8859-1 should display the copyright symbol correctly, while the one encoded with UTF-8 contains a garbage character immediately before the symbol.
