30 "Coding system for communicating with other X clients.
32 When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
33 data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
34 for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
35 variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
37 data-type coding system
38 --------- -------------
39 UTF8_STRING utf-8
40 COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
41 STRING iso-latin-1
42 C_STRING no-conversion
44 When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
45 for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
46 proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
48 See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
49 to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
51 The default value is nil."
