Character encodings

I thought that it is useful to have this Curl 7.0 info in one place.  On my Windows PC, the procedure returns over 100 CharEncoding of various types.

The information is in two dumps: one by type from the debugger and one as terminal output (they are separated by a Curl comment below.)

The first dump I have reordered slightly to group the types.

Curl for creative e-books

With Facebook absorbing Push Pop Press and more interest in Curl from the server-side, should we not be taking Curl seriously as a format for creative e-books?

To get an idea, look at what TiddlySpot.com and TiddlySpace.com have been able to do for TiddlyWiki using Python and PHP.

Curl macros are natural for templates for page layout - and there is all the experience gained from the recent addition of stylesheets to Curl pages - and a new style-designer is coming.

What is missing is e-books that are sync'd to WBT as "smart textbooks" to complement web-based training (and not the fat binder of photocopies, pul-lease!
