Identifying Direct Encoding Conversions

A direct conversion is one that can convert from a source encoding to a destination encoding in one step. Generally this means that a plug-in must be available that handles that specific conversion.

If more than one step is needed, the Text Encoding Converter can convert between any two encodings by using the available direct conversions to make intermediate conversions. The direct conversions available depend on the conversion plug-ins currently installed on the user's system.
