Description

makethumbs will not specify a Content-Encoding for your web pages by default. If you are adding text of non-American origin to your pages, you may want to specify which encoding it is to help web browser programs. Or just use American for everything. It's all up to you.

Examples

Setting html_charset to "iso-8859-1" for Latin-1 aka ISO-8859-1, will result in the following being added to the HEAD section of all the HTML pages:

     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
