patch for [source_exporter]

The original version of exporter.dll is not friend to unicode characters.
The encoding is changed from "iso-8859-1" to "utf-8" and it works well.
Hope the adoption in next Nightly builds.

Thanks for the patch, but IMHO this is not so easy. The encoding must match the one used in the StyledTextCtrl, if you are using ISO8859-1 then you must convert it to UTF-8 or use ISO8859-1 in the HTML header.

An additional problem is that the encoding may change within the document, as it is a property of the style used.

One possible solution is applying your patch and converting char-by-char t the text to UTF-8 in HTMLExporter.cpp:276 (if it is not already UTF-8).

EDIT: Looks like Scintilla (the base for wxStyledTextCtrl) uses UTF-8 iinternally, so you patch may be enough. I will test with ISO8859 and Windows1252 external encodings.
