+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
+\helpref{Init}{wxencodingconverterinit}).
