[Expat-discuss] Encoding

[Lin Shen]

Fred,

Maybe I didn't state it clear in my last mail. What I'm looking for is a way
to get the encoding pesudo-attribute of the XML declaration. I'm not sure
which callback handler suits this case. I'm using element handler in my
applicaiton right now, but it skips <?xml ?>. And I also tried the default
handler, it passes everything (including comments) back to the application,
which meaks me wonder if there is a better way.

thanks
lin
