Chatacter Entity Conversions

Postby Anne » Mon Nov 29, 2004 10:59 pm

Hi -

I'm evaluating HTML Pad and like it quite a bit. But, I seem to have problems consistantly doing Character Entity conversions such as the apostrophe to '

It seems like sometimes the program does it when I run a task and other times it doesn't. I can't seem to figure out a pattern. I've checked my Tidy Tasks and have the following set:

Default: Convert to XHTML

within that task, I have checked:
quote-ampersand
quote-marks
quote-nbsp

Any ideas what might be going on or what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Anne

HTML Tidy is a third party product (software from other developers) which is simply integrated and shipped together with HTMLPad. Unfortunately I can not give official answer to your question.

As I tested this, it seems that following options must be enabled (checked):
    output-xhtml
    quote-ampersand
    quote-marks
    quote-nbsp


When these options are enabled then the Tidy seems to convert ' to ' which is what you need.

Thanks for the clarification. I've double-checked my Tidy tasks and had those options. I was mistaken in thinking you controlled that part of the program. I'll see what I can find out from them. Like I said, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.
