Special Characters

Added by Dave Jansen over 1 year ago

I'm trying to insert special characters (like €) into my elrte editor.
When i insert in the html code "€" and switch to "editor", i nicely get the euro sign, but at that moment i see that Elrte has change my ascii code to the actual Euro sign, instead of leaving the original code untouched.
Als with other special characters this doesn't work.

Is this a (known) bug? Or did i miss some configuration?

I'm not sure this is a bug, I think this does your browser If you are using UTF-8 encoding on the page. Maybe if you try to change it to ISO-8859-1 I think it not will be replaced;

Troex: i indeed using UTF-8. But i think it is strange, because if i use "€" in my editor, Elrte should leave this untouched, because the source code is the unformatted plain text. If i want to see the result, my browser and/or elrte can change the behaviour by changing & to "&", but otherwise i want to have control of what's happening on my screen :)

Just my 2 cents

Is there a way to replace special characters to htmlcode in the editor? My pages are encoded in UTF-8 because I am using jquery a lot. It's a big problem writing german articles with this editor because it doesn't convert chars like ö, ü, ä, ß, €... in 

ü ä
...
I could write a PHP function which do this work but it isn't a nice solution.

This not editor but your browser replaces them, this is the way elRTE. And there is noway to tell to do, or not to do such replacements, not in current version.
