This feature is available in classic and need to be implemented here:

Encoding:word	This specifies the encoding of the output. Available encoding parameters are:
UTF-8: UTF-8 encoding of all unicode characters.
ISO-8859-1: ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding of all unicode characters.
ISO-8859-2: ISO-8859-2 (Latin-2) encoding of all unicode characters.
TeX: TeX encoding of all unicode characters.
hex: Hex encoding of all unicode characters.
Unicode: Unicode encoding of all unicode characters. This outputs the html entities instead of binary characters.

we are already supporting UTF-8, Tex (renamed to latex), and unicode. Per Alberto, we are not going to support ISOs "I'm happy NOT to support these encodings, as users can easily go from UTF-8 to any other encoding on their platforms"
