# encoding: utf-8

extend ActiveSupport::Autoload
# === Encodings in ActionView::Template
#
# ActionView::Template is one of a few sources of potential
# encoding issues in Rails. This is because the source for
# templates are usually read from disk, and Ruby (like most
# encoding-aware programming languages) assumes that the
# String retrieved through File IO is encoded in the
# <tt>default_external</tt> encoding. In Rails, the default
# <tt>default_external</tt> encoding is UTF-8.
#
# As a result, if a user saves their template as ISO-8859-1
# (for instance, using a non-Unicode-aware text editor),
# and uses characters outside of the ASCII range, their
# users will see diamonds with question marks in them in
# the browser.
#
# To mitigate this problem, we use a few strategies:
# 1. If the source is not valid UTF-8, we raise an exception
# when the template is compiled to alert the user
# to the problem.
# 2. The user can specify the encoding using Ruby-style
# encoding comments in any template engine. If such
# a comment is supplied, Rails will apply that encoding
# to the resulting compiled source returned by the
# template handler.
# 3. In all cases, we transcode the resulting String to
# the <tt>default_internal</tt> encoding (which defaults
# to UTF-8).
#
# This means that other parts of Rails can always assume
# that templates are encoded in UTF-8, even if the original
# source of the template was not UTF-8.
#
# From a user's perspective, the easiest thing to do is
# to save your templates as UTF-8. If you do this, you
# do not need to do anything else for things to "just work".
#
# === Instructions for template handlers
#
# The easiest thing for you to do is to simply ignore
# encodings. Rails will hand you the template source
# as the default_internal (generally UTF-8), raising
# an exception for the user before sending the template
# to you if it could not determine the original encoding.
#
# For the greatest simplicity, you can support only
# UTF-8 as the <tt>default_internal</tt>. This means
# that from the perspective of your handler, the
# entire pipeline is just UTF-8.
#
# === Advanced: Handlers with alternate metadata sources
#
# If you want to provide an alternate mechanism for
# specifying encodings (like ERB does via <%# encoding: ... %>),
# you may indicate that you are willing to accept
# BINARY data by implementing <tt>self.accepts_binary?</tt>
# on your handler.
#
# If you do, Rails will not raise an exception if
# the template's encoding could not be determined,
# assuming that you have another mechanism for
# making the determination.
#
# In this case, make sure you return a String from
# your handler encoded in the default_internal. Since
# you are handling out-of-band metadata, you are
# also responsible for alerting the user to any
# problems with converting the user's data to
# the default_internal.
#
# To do so, simply raise the raise WrongEncodingError
# as follows:
#
# raise WrongEncodingError.new(
# problematic_string,
# expected_encoding
# )

h3. Configuration Gotchas
The easiest way to work with Rails is to store all external data as UTF-8. If you don't, Ruby libraries and Rails will often be able to convert your native data into UTF-8, but this doesn't always work reliably, so you're better off ensuring that all external data is UTF-8.
If you have made a mistake in this area, the most common symptom is a black diamond with a question mark inside appearing in the browser. Another common symptom is characters like "ü" appearing instead of "ü". Rails takes a number of internal steps to mitigate common causes of these problems that can be automatically detected and corrected. However, if you have external data that is not stored as UTF-8, it can occasionally result in these kinds of issues that cannot be automatically detected by Rails and corrected.
Two very common sources of data that are not UTF-8:
* Your text editor: Most text editors (such as Textmate), default to saving files as
UTF-8. If your text editor does not, this can result in special characters that you
enter in your templates (such as é) to appear as a diamond with a question mark inside
in the browser. This also applies to your I18N translation files.
Most editors that do not already default to UTF-8 (such as some versions of
Dreamweaver) offer a way to change the default to UTF-8. Do so.
* Your database. Rails defaults to converting data from your database into UTF-8 at
the boundary. However, if your database is not using UTF-8 internally, it may not
be able to store all characters that your users enter. For instance, if your database
is using Latin-1 internally, and your user enters a Russian, Hebrew, or Japanese
character, the data will be lost forever once it enters the database. If possible,
use UTF-8 as the internal storage of your database.
