Subject: Saving in Latin1 with emacs
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 14:33:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bruubg$m56$1@news.net.uni-c.dk> (raw)
I have a file containing text in some weird encoding. 'file' says:
Non-ISO extended-ASCII English text, with very long lines, with CRLF,
NEL line terminators
Basically, I want to convert this text to Latin1. I have tried recode
and iconv assuming the text was utf-8, but they both claim that it is
not utf-8. Maybe it is a mix of several encodings? I don't know.
But my idea is this: emacs seems to be able to _show_ the file just
fine, regardless of whatever encoding it is. So I'm thinking: It must be
able to save this file in Latin1.
How do I do that?
