Optimally, UTF-16 (which is ubiquitous in the Windows world) and UTF-32 should be fully supported, probably by converting to mostly-UTF-8 and using `&#xXXXX;` or `&#DDDDD;` XML escapes where necessary.
Suboptimally, UTF-16 and UTF-32 should be converted to UTF-8 where cleanly possible and a warning printed where impossible.
+
+----
+Reading the wikipedia pages about [[!wikipedia UTF-8]] and [[!wikipedia UTF-16]], all valid Unicode characters are representable in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32, and the only errors possible with UTF-16/32 -> UTF-8 translation are when there are encoding errors in the original document.
+
+Of course, it's entirely possible that not all browsers support utf-8 correctly, and we might need to support the option of encoding into [[!wikipedia CESU-8]] instead, which has the side-effect of allowing the transcription of UTF-16 or UTF-32 encoding errors into the output byte-stream, rather than pedantically removing those bytes.
+
+An interesting question would be how to determine the character set of an arbitrary new file added to the repository, unless the repository itself handles character-encoding, in which case, we can just ask the repository to hand us a UTF-8 encoded version of the file.

+>>> Indeed, I know the problem; I ran into the same kind of thing with my [[plugins/contrib/report]] plugin and its `trail` concept.
+>>> I simply had to declare that one couldn't use "trail" and "maketrail" options within the same report. That way, "maketrail" will add links in the "scan" pass, and "trail" will test for links in the "build" pass. That usually works. --[[KathrynAndersen]]

+Some time ago there was a [[question|http://ikiwiki.info/forum/how_to_get_nice_pdf_from_ikiwiki_pages__63__/?updated#comment-05381634f89629ad26298a1af4b1d5f9]] in the forum how to get a nice pdf output from an ikiwiki page. However there were no answers. So I put it on the todo list, because I think this would be a nice feature.
+
+Note that for example dokuwiki has a [[nice plugin|http://danjer.doudouke.org/tech/dokutexit]] which converts the wiki page to latex and then to pdf and you can customize the latex-preamble.
and refresh site.
Peter Gammie has done an initial implementation of the above.
