Re: Unicode conversion using tudyHTML

Hello,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Our application does not use a file as input. Rather, users typically copy/cut from, say, Word document, then paste onto the HTML control of our application. The application then calls tidyHTML to tidy up the content.

The copied texts typically contain Unicode characters, thus when tidyHTML is called, the characters are converted to question mark of other characters, but we want to retain the original charcters.

What is the best way to handle this?

Thanks fo your help,
Anna

transcode your orginal file to UTF-8 (or 16) first...

Hello,
 
Our application uses tidyHTML to clean-up the contents of an HMTL control object. However, there are cases when after passing a string to tidyHTML, some characters are converted to question mark (?).
 
For instance, the rightward arrow →
(f you are using Word document, the short cut key is 2192, Alt-X).
 
Is there a way to use tidyHTML such that it will return back the original character?  If not, what is the best way to handle this?
 
Thanks! :)
