Please see:
"Put simply, I have a text box, and people commonly cut + paste
information into this text box from Microsoft word. The problem is that
word has all types of funky characters (smart quotes, em-dashes), that
the system (php-based) doesn't understand. Does anyone know of a way to
filter out these Microsoft-specific characters? Does PHP have a special
function for this? Thanks a lot!"
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread159156.htmlI have problems with oe, and OE too. (used in French)
In Tiki, when the page is saved, it is OK for viewing & printing.
However, newsletters & email notifications (of articles & wiki pages)
are sent with a question mark instead of these characters.Has anyone figured this out for Tiki? We'd need some sort of cleaning
code in the email class?- Importance
