I use this symbol in my content: »

The problem i have with the 369 build of the html editor is that whenever i save a html file with the » symbol in it » appears.

How come? the 305 build doesn't have this

How does that help? I re-installed the 305 build again and now everything is fine.
I'm just wondering how it is possible that i encounter something like this in a newer version of the html editor.

When i first noticed it, i thought i was doing something wrong.
When i think i'm doing something wrong i strip the document and this time i stripped untill this code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
»
</BODY>
</HTML>


This is the result of that: »

Previous versions of the HTML Editor did not save the page as UTF-8. Now that we do save in this format, you just need to add the appropriate HTML markup.

Not in bold as I have done it here, though. I did that just so it's more visible.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />


Your solution works perfectly with the latest coffeecup build. Cheers
I never understood much about the differences between content types.

and that happens even if you want to use a different charset like iso-8859-1

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />


so to solve the problem I had to convert chars like çã to &ccedil;&atilde;

now I will have to convert the 116 files saved as iso-8859-1 to UTF-8... which will be a real pain!!!

why does it come with the option to CHOOSE the CHARSET if in the end it will be saved as UTF-8 EVEN IF YOU SET IT AS ANY OTHER OPTION?
