for a long time, I tried to set up XeLaTeX to work with UTF-8 correct. Silly me!
A couple of days ago I have figured out, that XeLaTeX is working correct. When I edit or create a file using vi for example, everything works like a charme.
But when I am editing or creating a LaTeX file using TeXShop it tranforms german umlauts from
...
\begin{document}

...
into
\UTF{00FC}\UTF{00F6}\UTF{00E4}\UTF{00DF}\UTF{00D6}\UTF{00C4}\UTF{00DC}
As a result of the xelatex .tex I receive a
...
<name>.tex:<line number>: Undefined control sequence.
l<line number>\UTF
{00FC}\UTF{00F6}\UTF{00E4}\UTF{00DF}\UTF{00D6}\UTF{00C4}\UTF{00DC}%
Where is a filename and is the position. It is not relevant!
I have set up to save the file as Unicode(UTF-8) in the TeXShop Preferences (TeXShop ->Preferences...->Source) but it does not help.
On my other computer I have the same version installed. On this one it is saving the document correct.
Even reinstalling did not help.
The file is saved using the strange \UTF{...} notation instead of the character.
How can I fix the encoding when saving?
Thank you in advance

Because I've the same problem and searched a lot:
In the menu go to:
TeXShop -> Preferences... -> Misc -> pTeX support -> utf export.
Uncheck this checkbox!
After spending 2 hours making experiments, I found your answer. Thanks a lot. I could fix my own environment. However, in addition to
TeXShop -> Preferences... -> Misc -> pTeX support -> utf export
I also had to uncheck
TeXShop -> Preferences... -> Misc -> Automatic conversion from UTF-8-Mac into UTF-8
(not sure about the exact English message, I work under another language). I thought it could be useful for other people.

I know there are a bunch of posts about this already, stackoverflow: word wrap in netbeans, for one, and there are some people that say it is already included in netbeans 7, but for the most part they are all old, or inconclusive. I use netbeans 7.0.1 and the included word wrap is half-assed and glitchy at best. Going to Tools > Options > Editor > Formatting > Line Wrap and setting it to either "After Words" or "Anywhere" both result in practically the same sort of wrapping and neither one is very reliable. On occasions it will wrap as expected, but more often than not you can end up with anywhere from one word to an entire paragraph past the vertical scrollbar. Is there something I am missing or is that really the way that's supposed to work?
I'm still looking and will post any significant finds, but does anyone know of a way to fix this, or a plugin to install for it, or anything? I would have figured after 4 years of inquiries (2008 is the oldest post I've found about this) netbeans would have fixed it :(
BTW: Not looking for reasons why my code shouldn't be more than 80 character long, there's no helping it sometimes and that answer isn't helpful. I have also tried adding "-J-Dorg.netbeans.editor.linewrap=true" in the netbeans.conf file, but from what I gather that is for enabling the feature in older version and did nothing in mine (I removed it).
On Netbeans 7 and 8, you can use Tools/Options/Editor/Formatting/LineWrap.
It can only be globally enabled.
you can do it from:
1) Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Formatting(Tab)
2) Select Your Language in "Language Drop down"
3) Select "Wrapping" from "Category and do what ever you want
Note: this is for Windows OS
I have done it in netbeans 8.0
Goto -> Tools-> options-> Editor-> Formatting-> language(dropdown-All languages) -> Category(dropdown-Tabs and indents) -> Line wrap(After word)
Make sure you re-open the file to see the change.
In case any one is looking for this with NetBeans 8 on OSX and ends up here, it's preferences/Options/Editor/Formatting/LineWrap
you can do it from:
1) Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Formatting(Tab)
2) Select Your Language in "Language Drop down"
3) Select "Tabs and Indents" from "Category
4) Dropdown" select any of the desired option from "Line Wrap drop down"
i.e After words or Anywhere
Note: this is for Windows OS
In Netbeans 7.2 it's actually, "Wrapping" instead of "Line Wrapping" and it's "If Long" instead of "After Words", but that probably doesn't answer your question.
You posted this almost one year ago, and you still haven't found anything yet?
I don't like how they decide to wrap by way of creating actual new lines in the editor. I would prefer if it just line-wrapped but you didn't have to make a new line - like, what you have with Notepad. However, I would prefer if you had a symbol to show that you're line wrapping on the next line, like I have seen in other IDE's before.
I done in Netbeans 8.0.2 as following way :
NetBeans->preferences/Options/Editor/Formatting/LineWrap
Hope this is useful.
That's it . I want to open all the files in once (to make replacements). But notepad++ opens them all in ANSI and I have to go through each file and change the encoding to UTF-8.
In Notepad++ 5.9 there is an option in Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory to automatically convert ANSI files to UTF-8 without BOM on open
Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory -> UTF-8
I believe you can change this in config.model.xml. I'm not sure if it is setting an unknown type as the default type, however, but it might be worth altering NewDocDefaultSettings
<GUIConfig name="NewDocDefaultSettings" format="0" encoding="0" lang="0" />
to
<GUIConfig name="NewDocDefaultSettings" format="0" encoding="4" lang="0" />
I think at worse case you might be able to record a Macro to automate this process.
Late but for new Users,i had faced a similar problem
Step 1:
Settings -> Preferences -> New Document ->[Encodng] UTF-8 without BOM (check Apply to opened ANSI files)
but any how it hadn't solved mine , i searched out and found that its a bug!
Notepad++ v6.4.5 bug fixes:
Fix a crash issue while there's missing tag in functionList.xml. Fix
UTF-8 (w/o BOM) detection bug.
Step 2:
That's all have an update to >= v6.4.5 and follow Step 1
look here to change default UTF8 settings for notepad ( new text documents ) - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/default-utf-8-encoding-for-new-notepad-documents/525f0ae7-121e-4eac-a6c2-cfe6b498712c
This is a simple question :
Is there any automatic indentation alignment on Eclipse PDT when you do a copy-paste ?
Because it doesn't work on my installation (raw copy-paste), but maybe this is because I use tabs instead of spaces, so I want to know if it will work if I switch to spaces.
Thanks
Actually, such a function exists now for eclipse CDT. In preferences : C++ -> Editor -> Typing, "when pasting", "adjust indentation".
Perhaps it is the same for PDT ?
I don't know specifically about PDT, but normally you can indent code with Ctrl + i, and format code with Ctrl + Shift + f (under Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter you can specify how the formatter should work).
You can even select multiple files in the navigator and select Source -> Format to format several files then.
Tony Vermeiren had a suggestion that worked for me
(from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351771#c17)
open workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.php.ui.prefs
add "smartPaste=false" at the end
save & restart eclipse
A similar idea to Davids is the use of Save actions: in the Preferences selecting Java/Editor/Save actions you can define an action to format the java code files during saves. It would solve the paste format problems during the save.
If you manage codes with different coding standards, where this formatting might have problems, define multiple formats, on a per-project basis (using the Project properties window).
Ok then I guess the answer is : no, this functionnality doesn't exists yet. I've moved to PhpStorm and I'm more than happy.
TLDR: uncheck "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation"
Explanation:
When i copy paste the following:
And "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation" checked
The result is that the second line has unwanted indentation:
To fix this just uncheck "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation"
I have a bizarre problem: Somewhere in my HTML/PHP code there's a hidden, invisible character that I can't seem to get rid of. By copying it from Firebug and converting it I identified it as or 'Zero width no-break space'. It shows up as non-empty text node in my website and is causing a serious layout problem.
The problem is, I can't get rid of it. I can't see it in my files even when turning Invisibles on (duh). I can't seem to find it, no search tool seems to pick up on it. I rewrote my code around where it could be, but it seems to be somewhere deeper in one of the framework files.
How can I find characters by charcode across files or something like that? I'm open to different tools, but they have to work on Mac OS X.
You don't get the character in the editor, because you can't find it in text editors. #FEFF or #FFFE are so-called byte-order marks. They are a Microsoft invention to tell in a Unicode file, in which order multi-byte characters are stored.
To get rid of it, tell your editor to save the file either as ANSI/ISO-8859 or as Unicode without BOM. If your editor can't do so, you'll either have to switch editors (sadly) or use some kind of truncation tool like, e.g., a hex editor that allows you to see how the file really looks.
On googling, it seems, that TextWrangler has a "UTF-8, no BOM" mode. Otherwise, if you're comfortable with the terminal, you can use Vim:
:set nobomb
and save the file. Presto!
The characters are always the very first in a text file. Editors with support for the BOM will not, as I mentioned, show it to you at all.
If you are using Textmate and the problem is in a UTF-8 file:
Open the file
File > Re-open with encoding > ISO-8859-1 (Latin1)
You should be able to see and remove the first character in file
File > Save
File > Re-open with encoding > UTF8
File > Save
It works for me every time.
It's a byte-order mark. Under Mac OS X: open terminal window, go to your sources and type:
grep -rn $'\xFEFF' *
It will show you the line numbers and filenames containing BOM.
In Notepad++, there is an option to show all characters. From the top menu:
View -> Show Symbol -> Show All Characters
I'm not a Mac user, but my general advice would be: when all else fails, use a hex editor. Very useful in such cases.
See "Comparison of hex editors" in WikiPedia.
I know it is a little late to answer to this question, but I am adding how to change encoding in Visual Studio, hope it will be helpfull for someone who will be reading this sometime:
Go to File -> Save (your filename) as...
And in File Explorer window, select small arrow next to the Save button -> click Save with Encoding...
Click Yes (on Do you want to replace existing file dialog)
And finally select e.g. Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) - that removes BOM
The question has two parts, one of which I already have the answer for.
How to auto-remove trailing whitespace from the entire file being edited? -> Answer: use the AnyEdit plugin, which can be set to do that on any save to the file.
How to auto-remove trailing whitespace only from the lines I changed? -> This I don't know and would appreciate any help.
I assume your questions is with regards to Java code. If that's the case, you don't actually need any extra plugins to accomplish 1). You can just go to Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions and configure it to remove trailing whitespace.
By the sounds of it you also want to make this a team-wide setting, right? To make life easier and avoid having to remember setting it up every time you have a new workspace you can set the save action as a project specific preference that gets stored into your SCM along with the code.
In order to do that right-click on your project and go to Properties -> Java Editor -> Save Actions. From there you can enable project specific settings and configure it to remove trailing whitespace (among other useful things).
NB: This option has been removed in Eclipse Kepler (4.3) and following releases.
NB #2: The option seems to be back in Eclipse Luna - Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1)
Removing whitespace from the entire file being edited:
Preferences -> Java -> Editors -> Save Actions -> check Perform the selected actions on save -> check Additional actions -> click Configure.. -> go to Code organizing tab -> check Remove trailing whitespace -> select All lines.
Removing whitespace only from the lines I changed:
Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions -> check "Perform the selected actions on save -> check Format source code -> select Format edited lines.
Note it is not necessary to click Configure the formatter settings on the Formatter page - all the code styles automatically include removing trailing whitespace. At least I couldn't find a setting for this in Formatter configuration, and it worked out of the box for built-in Java Conventions, Eclipse, Eclipse 2.1 styles, as well as GoogleStyle.
When using this set-up, you obviously need to also turn off the solution to part 1 of the question.
Eclipse version checked: 4.5.2, 4.11
You don't need any plugin to do so. For instance, if you code JAVA, you can erase trailing whitespaces configuring save actions:
Eclipse 3.6
Preferences -> Java -> Editors -> Save Actions -> Check Perform the selected actions on save -> Check Additional actions -> Click the Configure.. button.
In the Code organizing tab, check Remove trailing whitespace
PyDev can do it by either Ctrl+Shift+F if you have code formatter option set to do it, or by during saving:
Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> PyDev -> Editor -> Code Style -> Code Formatter:
I use at least these:
Auto format before saving
Right trim lines?
Add new line at end of file
Do following:
Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions
You can map a key in Eclipse to manually remove trailing whitespaces in the whole file, but only on request instead of automatically at save. (Preference/Keys and then map a set of keys to File/Remove Trailing Whitespace) This can be useful if you want to sanitize all new files, but keep legacy code untouched.
Another strategy is to activate visual display of whitespace, so at least you'll know when you're adding some trailing whitespace. As far as I know, there's no way to display only trailing whitespace though, but I'll be glad to be proved wrong.
In a pinch, for those editors that don't support removal of trailing whitespace at all (e.g. the XML editor), you can remove it from all lines by doing a find and replace, enabling regular expressions, then finding "[\t ]+$" and replacing it with "" (blank). There's probably a better regex to do that but it works for me without needing to install AnyEdit.
I would say AnyEdit too. It does not provide this specific functionalities. However, if you and your team use the AnyEdit features at each save actions, then when you open a file, it must not have any trailing whitespace.
So, if you modify this file, and if you add new trailing spaces, then during the save operation, AnyEdit will remove only these new spaces, as they are the only trailing spaces in this file.
If, for some reasons, you need to keep the trailing spaces on the lines that were not modified by you, then I have no answer for you, and I am not sure this kind of feature exists in any Eclipse plugin...
It is impossible to do it in Eclipse in generic way right now, but it can be changed given with basic Java knowledge and some free time to add basic support for this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180349
The dependent issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=311173
For php there is also an option:
There is a really easy way to do this with sed, the Unix command line tool. You could probably create a macro in Eclipse to run this:
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' <filename>
As #Malvineous said, It's not professional but a work-around to use the Find/Replace method to remove trailing space (below including tab U+0009 and whitespace U+0020).
Just press Ctrl + F (or command + F)
Find [\t ][\t ]*$
Replace with blank string
Use Regular expressions
Replace All
extra:
For removing leading space, find ^[\t ][\t ]* instead of [\t ][\t ]*$
For removing blank lines, find ^\s*$\r?\n
I am not aware of any solution for the second part of your question. The reason is that it is not clear how to define I changed. Changed when? Just between 2 saves or between commits... Basically - forget it.
I assume you would like to stick to some guideline, but do not touch the rest of the code. But the guideline should be used overall, and not for bites and pieces. So my suggestion is - change all the code to the guideline: it is once-off operation, but make sure that all your developers have the same plugin (AnyEdit) with the same settings for the project.
I used this command for git: git config --global core.whitespace cr-at-eol
It removes ^M characters that are trailing.
