32 "Coding system for communicating with other X clients.
33
34When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
35data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
36for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
37variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
38
39data-type coding system
40--------- -------------
41UTF8_STRING utf-8
42COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
43STRING iso-latin-1
44C_STRING no-conversion
45
46When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
47for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
48proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
49
50See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
51to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
