Hi,

I have noticed, that when I use libxml2 on my indexed files, special 
characters are stripped off (in my case czech characters)

Switching to DefaultContents HTML solved that problem - (together with 
TranslateCharacters directive)


I tried it with these configurations : swish-e 2.5.2 and swish-e 2.2 on 
Linux; v2.4.2 and v2.2 on Windows - both OS's behaved in the same way, 
so I expect it is not in the configuration of the computers. (Am I 
wrong?    [on Linux I have LANG=cs_CZ;LANGUAGE=czech])

best regards

roman

below is some output from -T INDEXED_WORDS
