20 <div class="section " id="disallowed-character-encoding"><h3>Character encoding <code><var>{text}</var></code>
21 is not allowed for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.</h3>
22 <p>The character encoding used for the document is not allowed
23 for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document. The document is non‐conforming.</p>
24 </div>

26 <div class="section " id="bad-character-encoding"><h3>Character encoding <code><var>{text}</var></code>
27 should not be used for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document.</h3>
28 <p>The character encoding used for the document is not recommended
29 for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document. The document is non‐conforming
30 unless there is any good reason to use that encoding.</p>
31 </div>
32
33 <div class="section " id="non-utf-8-character-encoding"><h3>Use of UTF-8 is encouraged (this document
34 is encoded in <code><var>{text}</var></code>).</h3>
35 <p>Use of UTF-8 as the character encoding of the document is encouraged,
36 though the use of another character encoding is still conforming.</p>
37 </div>
38
39 <div class="section " id="character-encoding-unchecked"><h3>Conformance for character encoding requirements
40 cannot be checked, since the input is not a byte stream.</h3>
41 <p>The conformance checker cannot detect whether the input document
42 met the requirements on character encoding, since the document
43 is not inputed as a serialized byte sequence. The document is
44 not conforming if it is not encoded in an appropriate character
45 encoding with appropriate labeling.</p>
46 </div>
47
48 <div class="section " id="no-character-encoding-declaration"><h3>There is no character encoding
49 declaration.</h3>
50 <p>The document does not contain a character encoding
51 declaration. Unless the character encoding is explicitly
52 specified in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in <abbr>HTTP</abbr>,
53 or is implied by <abbr>BOM</abbr>, there must be a character
54 encoding declaration. The document is non‐conforming.</p>
55
56 <p>The long character encoding declaration syntax
57 <code class="html bad example">&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>
58 is obsolete. The new syntax is:</p>
59 <pre class="html example">
60 <code>&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code></pre>
61
62 <p>Note that the <code>encoding</code> declaration in <abbr>XML</abbr>

70 <p>The document is not labeled with character encoding name
71 in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in <abbr>HTTP</abbr>, and
72 the document is not begin with <abbr>BOM</abbr>. In addition,
73 the character encoding of the document is not a superset of
74 <abbr>ASCII</abbr>. The document is non‐conforming.</p>
75
76 <p>Unless there is a <abbr>BOM</abbr>, the character encoding
77 for the document must be specified in e.g. <abbr>HTTP</abbr>‐level,
78 as:</p>
79 <pre class="http example">
80 <code>Content-Type: text/html; charset=<var>charset-name</var></code></pre>
81
82 <p>Existence of <abbr>HTML</abbr> character encoding declaration, i.e.
83 <code class="html example">&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>,
84 does not allow to omit <code>charset</code> parameter
85 for <abbr>HTML</abbr> document encoded in non‐<abbr>ASCII</abbr>
86 compatible encoding.</p>
87
88 <p>Character encodings <code>Shift_JIS</code>, <code>Windows-31J</code>,
89 and <code>ISO-2022-JP</code> are <em>not</em> a superset of
90 <abbr>ASCII</abbr> for the purpose of <abbr>HTML</abbr> conformance.</p>

116 <div class="section format-charset warning" id="charset-label-detected"><h3>While parsing the document as
117 <code><var>{text}</var></code>, a character encoding declaration specifying
118 a different character encoding is found. The document
119 is reparsed.</h3>
120 <p>While parsing a document in a character encoding,
121 a character encoding declaration which declares the character
122 encoding of the document as another character encoding is found.
123 The occurence of this warning itself does not make the document
124 non‐conforming. However, the failure of the first attempt to
125 to detect the character encoding might be a result of non‐conformance
126 of the document.</p>
127
128 <p>The document will be reparsed from the beginning. Some error
129 or warning might be reported again.</p>
130
131 <p>These are suggestions to avoid this warning:</p>
132 <ul>
133 <li>Specify <code>charset</code> parameter in the <code>Content-Type</code>
134 field in the <abbr>HTTP</abbr> header, as:
135 <pre class="HTTP example">
136 <code>Content-Type: text/html; charset="<var>charset-name</var>"</code></pre></li>
137 <li>Put the character encoding declaration
138 (<code class="html example">&lt;meta charset="<var>charset-name</var>"&gt;</code>)
139 just after <code class="html example">&lt;head&gt;</code> start tag.</li>
140 <li>Use <code>UTF-8</code>.</li>
141 </ul>
