Description Stanislav Brabec 2005-10-18 09:19:09 UTC 
Version details: epiphany-1.8.0
Distribution/Version: SuSE Linux 10.0

Entering a text to smart bookmark, epiphany copies it verbatim to URL. It is not
correct, because string encoding is web page specific and non-ASCII people
cannot use smart bookmarks. This feature is already implemented in Galeon.

What is needed:
- Conversion from source to destination encoding before addiong it to URL (with
error processing).
- A way to specify encoding in URL (galeon uses for example
'{encoding="ISO-8859-2"}http://www.google.com/search?q=%s').
Comment 1 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2006-08-27 03:29:43 UTC 
Hello Stanislav,

From live.gnome.org/Epiphany:
To resolve your smart bookmark with a specific charset, append %{encoding=<your charset>}, i.e http://bugzilla.gnome.org/how_bug.cgi?id=%s%{encoding="ISO-8859-1",width=5}


Please reopen if this is not what you need.
Comment 2 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-08-27 15:58:52 UTC 
Please don't mark bugs FIXED that weren't really fixed. 
The encoding parameter is a nice hack but we should really have Epiphany do it right without interventions like this.
Comment 3 Stanislav Brabec 2006-08-31 16:19:06 UTC 
It does what expected, but it probably needs a help in the editing window.
Comment 4 Reinout van Schouwen 2007-05-31 22:44:03 UTC 
-> Documentation enhancement request.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2014-01-25 20:44:30 UTC 
I have no idea what is here to enhance in documentation. Moving to General.
Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2016-10-31 02:49:17 UTC 
It's 2016 and GNOME only support UTF-8 for a long time now, so closing.
