The codepage names used by the codepage directive are

They are the names of individual codepage units exposed by the
charset
unit, which have names such as cp866 and cp1251. In fact, in
general I
think you can just prefix the code page number with "cp" (other
than for
utf8, which is built into the compiler and can be accessed via utf8
or
utf-8).
Note that this codepage functionality has been in FPC since 2.4.x
already (or maybe 2.6.0). It's not new in any way.
Thanks a lot, Jonas.
I think that adding links to the manual pages on the wiki is generally
not a good idea, because the names of those pages change with every
FPC release. The exception are pages for units documentation, as those
have fixed names.
The way I find such pages is via google, so maybe a link to https://www.google.be/search?q=site:www.freepascal.org+codepage
is better. At least it will always be up-to-date.
