Actually, "latin1" is a standardized encoding name (standardized by IANA in ), whereas "latin-1" is not. While some software recognizes "latin-1" as an alias for "latin1", other software doesn't, like 'iconv' in glibc and GNU libiconv: $ echo abc | iconv -t latin1 abc $ echo abc | iconv -t latin-1 iconv: conversion to `latin-1' is not supported Try `iconv --help' or `iconv --usage' for more information. Therefore it's a good idea to use in the documentation the standardized name and not some different name that appears "prettier" but does not actually w= ork.
