Package: file
Version: 5.04-1
Severity: wishlist
On a LaTeX file, one currently gets:
LaTeX 2e document text
It would be useful to have the encoding too, e.g.
ISO-8859-1 LaTeX 2e document text
UTF-8 LaTeX 2e document text
so that one can automatically call iconv via LESSOPEN when viewing
a file with "less", for instance.
On LaTeX files, the encoding can be obtained unambiguously (well,
in practice) by looking at \usepackage[...]{inputenc} commands,
e.g.
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
Note: ignore everything that is after a "%" character, as one
sometimes comments out such commands with it.
