OK, but it should be --charset=UTF-8

Well this is not entirely true then!  Something is screwing up my
documentation content.

--------  xml file  --------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fpdoc-descriptions>
<package name="CoreLib">

<module name="gfx_UTF8utils">
<short></short>
<descr>Is this character: &#x2026; displayed correctly?

U+2026 is the Horizontal Ellipses character. The following page has
more details and shows the different encodings in HTML etc...

Overview

Is this character: ? displayed correctly?

Exactly as is!  I view the HTML source and the '...' character is not
encoded or anything. It became a actual questionmark character.
