UTF-8 (no BOM) format support?

Post by topsuccess »

I'm using AkelPad to edit lua script for "LOVE2D" game engine, this engine recognize unicode string in UTF-8 (no BOM) format only, but AkelPad only saved as UTF-8 with BOM format. So my script encounted errors.

Could AkelPad support UTF-8 (no BOM) format?

topsuccess, AkelPad DOES SUPPORT UTF8 W/O BOM. Search carefully, or read manuals.

Main menu -> File -> Save as -> Codepage,
or press hotkey Ctrl+Shift+S,
choose:
65001 (UTF-8)
and unselect:
BOM

I'm sorry, I did not notice this option.
Thank you very much, FeyFre and KDJ.

What should I do? In Notepad text is ok, in AkelPad very often it is not - like here:

ZoNi, try to Redetect codepage or set manually. Press F12 while in Akelpad - in poped menu click "Redetect" for automatic redetection. Or on the same menu select submenu "Open As" and select desired(guessed) codepage.
If no other codepage conforms you - that means you really have such content in text file and automatic detection was successful.
If you have managed to find right codepage and such problem persists for other files, then you probably forgot to configure autodetection: goto Options - Settings - Genetal tab - Codepage recognition. You also can play with codepage filter.

This helped! Thank you... Just for others, that may help about this: 12 = F12 ;)

When I exit after save and reload file in AkelPad, file return to Ansi instead of remain UTF.
Do it is possible to avoid and mantain it UTF without BOM.
In need it for PHP.
