 Individual files have three configurable settings: indentation, line endings,
 and encoding. Indentation consists of an indentation character and an
-indentation size. Line endings are characters that separate lines. File

 #### Line Endings

 #### Encodings
 
-Textadept represents all characters and strings internally as UTF-8. UTF-8 is
-compatible with ASCII so those files are always detected properly. Textadept
-also recognizes ISO-8859-1 and MacRoman, two common encodings used on Windows
-and Mac OSX respectively. If you work with files whose encodings Textadept does
-not recognize, add the encodings to [`io.encodings`][] in your [preferences][].
