    Hi,

    I have encoding problem with adding HTML into docx document. I'm using UTF-8 editor, so input is properly UTF-8 encoded. When I try this code:
    [code]
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addText("ěščřžýáíéé");
    $docx->createDocx("test");
    [/code]
    Text is [i]properly[/i] encoded. But when I try this example:
    [code]
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addHTML("<b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé");
    $docx->createDocx("test");
    [/code]
    It is non-properly encoded like on this image:
    [img]http://projekty.mujserver.net/Bugreports/PHPDocx/WordScreenshot1.png[/img]

    So question is simple: [b]How to set encoding to UTF-8 in "word/html"?[/b]

    PS: Temporary workaround:
    [code]
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addHTML(iconv("UTF-8","Windows-1250","<b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé"));
    $docx->createDocx("test");
    [/code]

    ------------
    Using PHP 5.3.1, PHPDOCX v2.3

    [code]$docx->setEncodeUTF8();[/code] doesn't help you ?

    No, it activates utf8_encode function = Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 (source: PHP documentation). And I have UTF-8 encoded string on input.

    So problem in other words is:
    ->addText() accepts UTF-8 strings
    ->addHtml() accepts Windows-1250 encoded HTML (default in IE)

    :-)

    I found simple solution.
    [code]$docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addHTML(
    "<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body><b>ěščřžý</b>áíéé</body>"
    );
    $docx->createDocx("test");[/code]

    Is possible to put it into official source?
