Add encoding conversion capabilities #41

Open vlandham opened 8 years ago

vlandham commented 8 years ago

This could probably be a whole separate tool in itself - but it would be great to have textkit be able to convert from one encoding to another.

At the very least, it could convert from various formats into UTF-8

From this SO perhaps we need to use chardet ?

Unix philosophy would be to leave this to another tool such as iconv. Maybe document the process for people who need to do this.
