File encodings

bat natively supports UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. For every other file encoding, you may need to convert to UTF-8 first because the encodings can typically not be auto-detected. You can iconv to do so. Example: if you have a PHP file in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding, you can call:

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 my-file.php | bat

Note: you might have to use the -l/--language option if the syntax can not be auto-detected by bat.

Thank you for continuing! Since the add-on newer stopped working correctly on my oldest CentOS 7 Linux laptop, which I use to watch most YT at home, I didn't know whether it would work on newer FireFox versions… And I emailed you, asking for a copy of the .XPI file for personal use, as my latest ThinkPad didn't get it via Sync, because it was removed from here…

Then a couple of days ago, I noticed I suddenly had it installed on this… Funny thing, the old laptop says when visiting this page that the latest version requires later FireFox, but CentOS is a dead distro (except for some security updates); during the last month or so, I did run full package upgrades, and FireFox was included, but I doubt it was that much newer, but rather just some bugfixes… Yeah, it's 115.8.0esr (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora (CentOS served as testing bed for Fedora), while this newest one has 124.0 (64-bit)…
So I think I would have to install the newer version manually past the package management (or try to build the latest Fedora source RPM to CentOS 7 — along with any dependencies, without breaking it) to get the latest version of this add-on. But it still works great on that version, so for now I don't feel it's worth the time…

I never saw you reply to my request… but my mailbox is too full, I got so much spam and other unwanted mail that I'm having a hard time keeping up with it… So I also tried to search how could I copy the installed extension from another profile (on another system, but that's not important) into another… I could have, of course just backed up my .mozilla/firefox/ folder, and tried my best, that way I could have got it back at any time…

But THANK YOU SO MUCH for making a new version available… Just one request: Please keep older, or at least the latest version available — either here with warning, or simply on your homepage with a big clear warning that it's at one's own risk to try it, and if it doesn't work, you warned them. There might always be cases where people want them anyway… And may get them working. <3
