fs := FileStream fileNamed: 'test.xml'.

XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom:

Looks like UTF8TextConverter is used independent

from the encoding of the XML...

the problem seems not to be the xml parser. If you use FileStream>>fileNamed: the fileNamed: is delegated to FileStream class>>concreteStream which is MultiByteStream. This stream initializes itself with the utf8 converter if it isn't set intentionally.

Besides that I'm not sure if the parsing of the xml parser works correctly if the setup is properly done for latin1 encoding.

yes, I think the same as the following works without problem (note I have the last squeaksource version for XML related stuff)

string :=  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

  <test><![CDATA[Zaunk��nig]]></test>'.

XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: fs contents.

hth,

C��drick

Of course it is the job of the parser:

The XMLSupport package is oblivious to this however, and only works on internal streams.
