[Laszlo-user] using international characters in attributes

[Henry Minsky]

Regarding charset encoding:

You should be able to use any UTF-8 encoded characters, since the XML
in the file
is assumed to have UTF-8 encoding, unless otherwise specified in the
<?xml ..?> declaration.

Is that not working for you? Make sure your editor is using UTF-8
encoding, or else
you could try setting a custom encoding in the <?xml encoding="..."/>
but I don't
recommend that.

There is a property called unstretchedwidth and unstretchedheight which are
set on a view, and give the native dimensions of the image resource.
