30 "Coding system for communicating with other X clients.
31
32When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
33data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
34for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
35variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
36
37data-type coding system
38--------- -------------
39UTF8_STRING utf-8
40COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
41STRING iso-latin-1
42C_STRING no-conversion
43
44When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
45for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
46proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
47
48See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
49to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
