Lister bug in HTML display

Post by *miro »

I've noticed small bug when looking HTML pages in lister.

It seems that ‘ and ’ special characters are not being parsed, but they are left on the screen unparsed.

Yes, the help states:
"Try to interpret the file as a HTML file: remove all tags, and show links. "
So I guess only the <whatever> tags are removed.

The lister usually replaces character entity references with the actual character they represent, for example, © instead of &copy;.

Probably the lister does not recognize all of them, so it shows the unknown ones in the original form.

Numeric code

Post by *Clo »

:) Hello !
- You might try to write the special characters as numeric-codes, i.e. : &#nnn; instead &name;
where"nnn" is the order number in the table. If you write here 192 as "nnn", you will get "À", while the equivalent name-code &Agrave; doesn't work…

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Thanks for the tip, but this was not document of mine.
Anyway, this was a plain bug report and I'd like to see it fixed.

I have tried to implement as many of these special &xyz chars as possible, but I may have missed some. I will try to add the two you mentioned.
