Hi

It would be nice to have the reverse of the Convert Text action: 'Special HTML characters to ASCII' - i.e ASCII to Special HTML characters. So that text data imported between html tags was correctly formated.

Could you please explain the use of 'Text to HTML encoded'? I thought that maybe this would have provided the correct formatting for this task, however, it doesn't correctly display as expected in a browser.

example: 'Bill & Anne' using the 'Text to HTML encoded'option gives the result - 'Bill &amce Anne' not 'Bill & Anne', which would be the correct formatting to be displayed in a browser.

thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,

You guessed correctly, you could use 'Text to HTML encoded' as a reverse for 'Special HTML characters to ASCII'.

However, the former contains a bug. '&' should be converted to '& amp;'. It seems that there are some (unicode) mishaps in our program that cause a wrong conversion. It could go wrong in other conversions as well. This is quite annoying and we will get right on it. A next release of djuggler will contain a fix.

We will keep this forum thread posted on this issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

This issue is now fixed. The upcoming release 3.1.2 contains the fix.

There were two main problems in character conversion (percent and ampersand conversion): some characters did not get converted correctly (as stated above) and UTF-8 characters outside out the ASCII range did not convert correctly as well. Character conversion has been rewritten compelely to address these issues.

Thanks for pointing this out,

Thanks for the reply Support Team. Any estimate on a time frame for the bug fix?

The bug has been fixed in the release from yesterday.
