+This class is capable of converting strings between two
+8-bit encodings/charsets. It can also convert from/to Unicode (but only
+if you compiled wxWidgets with wxUSE\_WCHAR\_T set to 1). Only limited subset
+of encodings in supported by wxEncodingConverter:

+{\tt wxFONTENCODING\_KOI8}.

+\wxheading{Note}

 
 

+Please use \helpref{wxMBConv classes}{mbconvclasses} instead
+if possible. \helpref{wxCSConv}{wxcsconv} has much better support for various
+encodings than wxEncodingConverter. wxEncodingConverter is useful only
+if you rely on {\tt wxCONVERT\_SUBSTITUTE} mode of operation (see
