00210: Displaying Romanian Characters during editing
Description: To correctly display the Romanian characters: Ă ă Ş ş Ţ ţ, one must write Ă ă Ş ş Ţ ţ. This makes editing very difficult because:
- During editing, pages containig those charactes are very hard to read and this discurages users from editing them
- If users write those characters directly instead of the above codes they could generate a different set of characters: Ã ã â ª º Þ þ
Ideally, the user would just copy and paste these characters when editing a page, they will display correctly in the saved page and will stay unchanged when coming back to edit the page.
I'm currently working on UTF-8 support in PmWiki -- try adding them to UTF8.TestRomanianChars and tell me if it works there. --Pm
Yes, it works perfectly. How can I get the same functionality? DBS
Should be available in 2.0.beta7, releasing later today. --Pm
To be more precise. The described issue can be solved by setting
$HTTPHeaders[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8;';
in local/config.php
However the latest features allows UTF-8 characters to be use directly as WikiWords for example [[utf-8char]] instead of [[url | utf-8char]] --Ken
