About this document - Encoding
by Harriet Bazley
When I view the Page->Info window on a web page I have constructed,
the character coding is displayed as "windows-1252 (from <meta>)"
But the actual meta data in the page header is
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Is this equivalent to a windows-1252 character set, or is my page syntax
outdated?

NetSurf State of Play?
by Simon Smith
I was just wondering, what it the current state of play on NetSurf?
I still use it very regularly, and greatly appreciate the work being
done. But whatever is being done, isn't making any visible difference.
It's stable, pretty reliable, but whatever is going on under the hood
is not materially affecting the sites I visit one way or the other.
But because of that, I'm not hitting any new bugs either, so I have
nothing to report and no new feedback to offer. But that lack of
feedback can easily make it seem like the work that is being done is
going unnoticed.
I don't want the devs to feel unappreciated - the work being done /is/
appreciated, but it doesn't seem to be changes I'd expect to see
differences from.
A (very) quick look in the June commits email archive did not
highlight anything likely to cause drastic effects. It all looked like
internal technical refinements. The progress info on the web site
hasn't been touched in a very long time. NetSurf is mature enough
that's it's understandable that development has slowed - I'm curious
what is being worked on at the moment. Could we have a summary?

Google Books
by Harriet Bazley
Google Books search results, which used not to be visible under Netsurf
and then magically appeared, have now disappeared again... so it's back
to searching for the "background-image:url" string and double-clicking
on the following URL. :-(
A few computers ago I used to have a Lua(?) script that would do this
automatically, but I seem to have discarded it in the course of
transferring StrongEDs....
<style type=text/css media=print>
.html_page_image{display:none;}
.viewport div img {display:none;}
</style><div style="height:863px;width:575px;position:relative;margin-bottom:4px"><style type=text/css>.html_page_image { background-image:url("https://books.google.co.uk/books/publisher/content?id=MbSrDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1..."); width:575px;height:863px; top:0px;left:0px;position:relative}</style>
