encoding property

LoadOptions.encoding property

Gets or sets the encoding that will be used to load an HTML, TXT, or CHM document if the encoding is not specified inside the document. Can be None. Default is None.

@property
def encoding(self) -> str:
    ...

@encoding.setter
def encoding(self, value: str):
    ...

Remarks

This property is used only when loading HTML, TXT, or CHM documents.

If encoding is not specified inside the document and this property is None, then the system will try to automatically detect the encoding.

Examples

Shows how to set the encoding with which to open a document.

load_options = aw.loading.LoadOptions()
load_options.encoding = system_helper.text.Encoding.ascii()
# Load the document while passing the LoadOptions object, then verify the document's contents.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'English text.txt', load_options=load_options)
self.assertTrue('This is a sample text in English.' in doc.to_string(save_format=aw.SaveFormat.TEXT))
