<h2>HTML5 Character Encoding Errors</h2>

<div class="section format-charset must" id="m:character-encoding"><h3>Character encoding <code><var>$0</var></code>
  is not allowed for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.</h3>
    <p>The character encoding used for the document is not allowed
    for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.  The document is non‐conforming.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset should" id="s:character-encoding"><h3>Character encoding <code><var>$0</var></code>
  should not be used for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.</h3>
    <p>The character encoding used for the document is not recommended
    for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.  The document is non‐conforming
    unless there is any good reason to use that encoding.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset warning" id="w:character-encoding"><h3>Use of UTF-8 is encouraged.</h3>
    <p>Use of UTF-8 as the character encoding of the document is encouraged,
    though the use of another character encoding is still conforming.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset unsupported" id="unsupported:character-encoding"><h3>Conformance for character encoding requirements
  cannot be checked.</h3>
    <p>The conformance checker cannot detect whether the input document
    met the requirements on character encoding, since the document
    is not inputed as a serialized byte sequence.  The document is
    not conforming if it is not encoded in an appropriate character
    encoding with appropriate labeling.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset error" id="m:no-character-encoding-declaration"><h3>There is no character encoding
  declaration.</h3>
    <p>The document does not contain a character encoding 
    declaration.  Unless the character encoding is explicitly 
    specified in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in <abbr>HTTP</abbr>,
    or is implied by <abbr>BOM</abbr>, there must be a character
    encoding declaration.  The document is non‐conforming.</p>

    <p>The long character encoding declaration syntax
    <code class="html bad example">&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>
    is obsolete.  The new syntax is:</p>
    <pre class="html example">
<code>&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code></pre>

    <p>Note that the <code>encoding</code> declaration in <abbr>XML</abbr> 
    declaration has no effect for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset error" id="m:non-ascii-superset"><h3>No character encoding metadata is found
  in lower‐level protocol nor is there <abbr>BOM</abbr>, while
  character encoding <code><var>$0</var></code>
  is not a superset of <abbr>ASCII</abbr>.</h3>
    <p>The document is not labeled with character encoding name
    in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in <abbr>HTTP</abbr>, and
    the document is not begin with <abbr>BOM</abbr>.  In addition,
    the character encoding of the document is not a superset of
    <abbr>ASCII</abbr>.  The document is non‐conforming.</p>

    <p>Unless there is a <abbr>BOM</abbr>, the character encoding
    for the document must be specified in e.g. <abbr>HTTP</abbr>‐level,
    as:</p>
    <pre class="http example">
<code>Content-Type: text/html; charset=<var>charset-name</var></code></pre>

    <p>Existence of <abbr>HTML</abbr> character encoding declaration, i.e.
    <code class="html example">&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>,
    does not allow to omit <code>charset</code> parameter
    for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document encoded in non‐<abbr>ASCII</abbr>
    compatible encoding.</p>

    <p>Character encodings <code>Shift_JIS</code>, <code>Windows-31J</code>,
    and <code>ISO-2022-JP</code> are <em>not</em> a superset of
    <abbr>ASCII</abbr> for the purpose of <abbr>HTML</abbr> conformance.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section format-charset warning" id="w:charset-label-detected"><h3>While parsing the document as
  <code><var>$0</var></code>, a character encoding declaration specifying
  character encoding as <code><var>$1</var></code> is found.  The document
  is reparsed.</h3>
    <p>While parsing a document in a character encoding,
    a character encoding declaration which declares the character
    encoding of the document as another character encoding is found.
    The occurence of this warning itself does not make the document
    non‐conforming.  However, the failure of the first attempt to
    to detect the character encoding might be a result of non‐conformance 
    of the document.</p>

    <p>The document will be reparsed from the beginning.  Some error
    or warning might be reported again.</p>

    <p>These are suggestions to avoid this warning:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Specify <code>charset</code> parameter in the <code>Content-Type</code>
    field in the <abbr>HTTP</abbr> header, as:
    <pre class="HTTP example">
<code>Content-Type: text/html; charset="<var>charset-name</var>"</code></pre></li>
    <li>Put the character encoding declaration
    (<code class="html example">&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>)
    just after <code class="html example">&lt;head&gt;</code> start tag.</li>
    <li>Use <code>UTF-8</code>.</li>
    </ul>

    However, the extended row does not contain any cell by itself.

    <p>For example, the table below is non-conforming:
