Unicode Support in Epsilon 14
- In regular expressions, <hspace> and <wspace> now
match Unicode's various space-like characters. As a result, the
commands delete-blank-lines, delete-horizontal-space, and others now
treat Unicode's various space-like characters as types of spaces.
- Epsilon's show-spaces mode (toggled by
change-show-spaces on Shift-F6) was improved to display a
variety of space-like and zero-width Unicode characters more clearly.
The hex display mode in set-show-graphic (Ctrl-F6) now
displays hex codes for Unicode characters too.
- The message to choose an encoding because a file contains
Unicode characters now shows the names of the characters and uses a
clearer format.
- The new command unicode-convert-to-ascii replaces some
Unicode and Windows-1252 punctuation characters in the buffer (or
highlighted region) with their nearest ASCII equivalent. It converts
various quote-like characters to ' or ", various hyphen-like
characters to -, and so forth, though it does not try to strip accents
from letters.
- The clipboard-convert-unicode variable recognizes a new
bit. Setting bit 4 tells Epsilon to convert Unicode clipboard
characters being pasted into an 8-bit buffer only if they have a
corresponding ASCII (range 0-127) equivalent, and this is now the
default. If you prefer the previous behavior, you can set this
variable to 3, which makes Epsilon also convert certain Unicode
characters with no ASCII equivalent to Extended ASCII (128-255,
Windows-1252), and perform the reverse conversion when putting text
back on the clipboard.
- Epsilon's Unicode data (character names, for example) was
updated to Unicode 9.0.
- The show-point command (Ctrl-x =) when at a Unicode
surrogate character now displays the name of the complete character.
