How do I know what to put in my XML document header:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding= ?

Would the wrong encoding surely cause problems? Can the encoding attribute be left out all together?

what you put in encoding is what character set you are using in the XML document. Assuming you are using the standard western character set, you would use

Code:

encoding="ISO-8859-1"

I guess my question is how do I know what my current character set is? In nano for example, or in eclipse?
