This generator hook will help you fix broken encoding when you generated some non HTML text file (i.e. xml, json…).
I've met this case when trying to generate a rss.xml
file using a content-handler, there's an issue for that but here is a "user-land" fix.
This concerns every file generated from content handlers and not having .html
extension, as punch
will use binary
encoding in those cases, and writing text with this encoding will result in iso-8859-1
files (your call, Node).
npm install punch-fix-utf8
In your config.json
:
{
"plugins": {
"generator_hooks": {
"fix_utf8": "./fix-utf8-hook"
}
},
"utf8_paths": [
"/path/to/file.xml"
]
}
Just provide in utf8_paths
the list of paths that should be re-encoded using utf8
encoding instead of binary
.
This will simply fs.writeFile(…, fs.readFile(…, 'binary'), 'utf8')
.
To avoid re-encoding to UTF-8 each time you regenerate your pages (which would break your files, again) a file named .fix_utf8
stores modified paths, and date of modification (so that re-generated files will be re-fixed). You can safely delete it only if you regenerate your whole project after that.
