You can also instead do it via configuring Lister's "Define view method by file type" and set the value for *.txt files to 7:

As per Petermads suggestion, "Define view method by file type",
I can now see UTF-8 files by default,

but now HTML files aren't being formatted as Text ("strip tags" view option = 5 )
"<body><p>hello <b>world</b></p>" -> "hello world"

What I tried:

strip HTML tags, codepage=UTF-8:
Code: Select all
```
%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L:C65001T5
```
setting both UTF-8 and HTML at the same time:
Code: Select all
```
%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L:T7T5
```

undesired example: UTF8=yes, HTML=No.

is that possible internally?
or with a plugin?

You cannot put %COMMANDER_EXE% or other programs in for the plugin, you can only use what is available when you click the [+] button in the dialog where it says: "Please choose default view modes" see upper right corner of the screenshot: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/listertextasutf8.png

So instead of %COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L:T7T5 you should put in:

Code: Select all

5,7

in that dialog box. Then pressing F3 on a .htm* file will open it in mode 5 (HTML text (strip tags)) - if you press 4 it will shift to mode 7 (UTF-8)

If the .html file has the proper meta tag:

Code: Select all

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Then TC will automatically show mode 5 as UTF-8 - it is not enough that the file has BOM, the meta tag has to be in the html file.

While in mode 5 you can force UTF-8 by pressing 7.

Lister and UTF-8 option

Re: Lister and UTF-8 option

Now, how to quick-view HTML + UTF8 --- together?
