Can I remove Byte-Order Mark?

Hi
When validating a HTML file I get a message :-

Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File.

The Unicode Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files is known to cause problems for some text editors and older browsers. You may want to consider avoiding its use until it is better supported.

Can I use Opus 10 to remove this BOM? Regards Derek

Opus doesn't have a built-in command to add or remove the BOM from text files, but there's probably a command-line tool to do that out there which would be easy to create an Opus button for automation.

An old thread but maybe its still useful. Leo put together some lines of code to remove UTF8 BOM with DO v11/v12 scripting capabilities. I took that and blended that functionality into a script addin for easier use, find it here:

ConvertEx:

After installing the addin, you can use the provided button-menu or create a new button with the following command to remove UTF8-BOM from files:

ConvertEx REMOVEUTF8BOM DESELECT=success NODESELECT
