Hello

I wrote an HTML document using an older release of Nano WebEditor. I guess
it saves data as Win1252 instead of UTF8.

When opening the file in LibreOffice, all the accents are messed up:

Any idea what I could try when opening the file, or afterwards?

You need a tag in the HTML code declaring the character set used, otherwise LibreOffice seems to assume UTF-8. I don't know if Namo WebEditor provides a dialog or other GUI to add the necessary tag, but you need something like the following within the <head> section (ideally near the top*):
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252">

If there's already a similar line, perhaps with the charset part missing or incorrect, edit that line.

LibreOffice doesn't seem to recognise the HTML5 <meta charset="..."> style, so if you're currently saving the page as HTML5 it might be worth trying HTML4 and Namo might add the appropriate tag for you.

Hopefully that helps.
