Search export to html should set content type to UTF-8 #389

When doing an HTML export from the search results tab of the advanced search dialog, xiphos 3.1.2-mozembed running on Ubuntu Karmic, Greek text cannot be read when the resulting HTML file is loaded into Firefox (see screenshot). This is a result of the Greek text being encoded as UTF-8, but no character encoding being declared in the HTML.

The problem is easily solved by adding a section:

before the body.

You can see the difference in the two attached files SearchResults.fixed.html and SearchResults.orig.html. SearchResults.orig.html is a result of running a search in the Septuagint module for "lemma:G5426." SearchResults.fixed.html is a hand-corrected version.

I expect that this problem also happens when doing an export from any language that is not represented in the Latin-1 character set.

fixed in -r3770. unfortunately, we released 3.1.3 just this week and binary packages for it are just becoming available. you'll have to correct your export saves manually until 3.2 comes out, which we hope we will be by summer or thereabouts.
