automatically choosing encoding by filetype?

automatically choosing encoding by filetype?

[sara francis]

hi,

I would like to confgure my emacs to automatically choose the correct 
encoding when opening an saving files.
Espacially I would like all xml files (xsd,xsl,xslt,dtd,...) to be in 
utf-8 while all the rest should be in iso-8859-1 (latin-1) whih it 
currently defaults to.
I couldn't find any docs on mule. I'm running emacs 21.3

Any sugestions? Thanks in advance!

Its docs is part of the Emacs manual.  Go to the node
``International'' and start reading from there.

See the documentation of the variable file-coding-system-alist.

Mule is integrated into Emacs 20 and higher.

See the variables file-coding-system-alist and auto-coding-alist.
