How can i correct this in jojo?

Thanks

I'm still having problems having to into MySQL after cut & pasting text from a web page and having to replace the – character with a hypen or quote mark.

I thought xinha would be set up to escape these characters, & clean proprietory code from word etc..

How do i resolve this?

Cheers

PS - For Pages, I noticed that pg_body table field replaces puntuation by the above character, but not pg_body_code??

the same situation occurs for artcles, the ar_body content gets contaminated but the ar_bbbody content is fine?

In addition if I go back to re-edit the pages in xinha, the content gets repopulated by these characters again.

Is there a setting e.g. should I be using utf-8 encoding or a setting in xinha that I haven't configed correctly?

I think you need to use UTF-8 on your database, i use jojo on wamp server with UTF-8 on database and it shows correct Azerbaijani charaters.

No text editor for web that I'm aware of can cope with apostrophes and quote marks, particularly when imported from word and also deal effectively with non-english texts, without some manual intervention.

Xinha has one solution - Paste as Plain Text, which will convert most things (but not all - it struggles with soft line breaks) to the proper html entities.

It also has a Word format cleaning button, but it's not very effective, and doesn't deal with html entities.

Neither is a magic bullet. Office programs (Open Office included) are crap. If you use them as a source, you have to clean the text and reformat.

I looked at implementing a full 'convert everything' option in Xinha, but it was too aggressive - rendering entire cyrillic texts into unicode strings, which gave the server a heart attack.
