encode!() public

This method is responsible for properly setting the encoding of the source. Until this point, we assume that the source is BINARY data. If no additional information is supplied, we assume the encoding is the same as Encoding.default_external.

The user can also specify the encoding via a comment on the first line of the template (# encoding: NAME-OF-ENCODING). This will work with any template engine, as we process out the encoding comment before passing the source on to the template engine, leaving a blank line in its stead.

      # String in that encoding, otherwise, we'll use the
      # default external encoding.

      # or the encoding specified in the file
      source.force_encoding(encoding)

      # If the user didn't specify an encoding, and the handler
      # handles encodings, we simply pass the String as is to
      # the handler (with the default_external tag)

      # Otherwise, if the String is valid in the encoding,
      # encode immediately to default_internal. This means
