Re: Info pages opened with an incorrect coding system

[Richard Stallman]

    If I'm understanding correctly, it can already be done.  If you use the
    @documentencoding command in the Texinfo source, and then specify
    --enable-encoding to makeinfo, the resulting Info file(s) will contain a
    Local Variables section setting the `coding' variable.

What happens if you do not specify --enable-encoding?

      For instance,

    Local Variables:
    coding: iso-8859-2
    End:

This means different Info files will use different coding systems.
That works fine in Emacs, which can read them all, but it might be better
to generate all the Info files in UTF-8.
