cmess - Assist with handling messed up encodings¶ ↑
VERSION¶ ↑
This documentation refers to cmess version 0.5.0
DESCRIPTION¶ ↑
CMess bundles several tools under its hood that aim at dealing with various problems occurring in the context of character sets and encodings. Currently, there are:
guess_encoding-
Simple helper to identify the encoding of a given string. Includes the ability to automatically detect the encoding of an input. (see CMess::GuessEncoding)
cinderella-
When characters are “double encoded”, you can't easily convert them back – this is where cinderella comes in, sorting the good ones into the pot and the (potentially) bad ones into the crop… (see CMess::Cinderella)
bconv-
Convert between bibliographic (and other) encodings. (see CMess::BConv)
decode_entities-
Decode HTML entities in a string. (see CMess::DecodeEntities)
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS¶ ↑
Requires Ruby version 1.9.3 or higher; use the latest 0.3.x release on older Ruby versions. CMess has been tested with ruby 2.1.3p242 on x86_64-linux.
