Changes

Some good choices for encodings are:

* '''texnansi''' for Western European languages with only a small subset of additional accented characters (includes many other important glyphs)

* '''ec''' for European languages with many accented characters

* '''cyr''', '''t2a''', '''t2b''', '''t2c''', ... (?) for [[Russian|Cyrillic]]

* '''iso-8859-7'''/'''greeek'''/'''grk''' (?) for [[Greek]] (see [[Greek]] for more details)

Users of '''il2''' and '''pl0''' should consider moving to '''qx'''.

{{todo|I hope that the content of this section will soon move to a page on its own with more comprehensive overview of different encodings.}}
