Re: [libxml++] templates v. library

[Elizabeth B. <li...@so...>]

   I used libxml2 recently in a C++ project and dealt with the
encoding issue by converting the original encoding to US-ASCII via
iconv.

   Perhaps something similar could be implemented in libxml++ such as
the constructor requiring an encoding (such as US-ASCII or UTF8),
which causes the orginial object to acquire an iconv_t token (see
iconv_open(3)). Each request for a string would then be run through
iconv using the above token.
