    Description

      When downloading online assignments for marking, html documents are generated and zipped. These html documents don't contain character encoding directives and therefore fail to show non-ascii characters correctly.

      Example of the problem:
      Bonjour Tristesse
      Dans l'histoire, Cécile salue la tristesse.
      With generated code:
      <html><body><div class="no-overflow"><p><strong>Bonjour Tristesse</strong></p>
      <p>Dans l'histoire, Cécile salue la tristesse.

      Expected behaviour:
      Bonjour Tristesse
      Dans l'histoire, Cécile salue la tristesse.

      Proposed solution - Generate code like:
      <html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"></head><body><div class="no-overflow"><p><strong>Bonjour Tristesse</strong></p>
      <p>Dans l'histoire, Cécile salue la tristesse.
