    In notepad++, under the format menu, there are encode in xxx. For example, encode in UTF-8. There are also convert to xxx. For example, convert to UTF-8. What's the difference between them? I realized I do encode in UTF-8, it also convert to UTF-8, because the save icon turned red.

    What's the difference?

    Thanks.
