[elinks-users] unicode conversion

[Rick R]

If I tack this on to the top of the html file I'm decoding it works:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

However, since everything I'm going to be viewing is likely in utf8, i
figured I could just set the doc codepage via a local elinks.conf.  I
can't get this to work.
The ./elinks.conf:
set document.codepage.assume = "utf8"
set document.codepage.force_assumed = 1

I invoke this as such:
./elinks -config-file ./elinks.conf -dump -dump-charset utf8
-dump-color-mode  0 ./test_fr.html > out/test_fr.txt


Am I doing this incorrectly?
