Very nice and very readable, great !
I have only a concern for French people : in the upper corner of the Home page, I see
"derni?re ?dition il y a 4 heures par billpage", i.e. e with grave accent and e with acute
accent are replaced by question mark. And in all other pages, I have the same phrase
"derni?re ?dition il y a ...."
Of course, this is absolutely not important by itself, but I think it would be nevertheless
important to correct it, because it could be misleading for beginning French users and
could lead to incorrect display of some pages. Indeed, if I connect for the first time and I
see a part in French, but with question marks instead of accented letters, the first
reaction is to correct the encoding and to select "Encodage des caracteres = occidental
ISO 8859-1". And now I get the correct accented characters in the small part in French,
and the rest of the text in English is correct, so I am happy in a beautiful multilingual
world :-)
But if I go to the page http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/MathematicalAlgorithms
(and this is quite probable that I will go, since it is the first link of the first sentence of the
Home page :-) I see once again question marks in the upper corner, and I see also
after "math.e.mat.i.cal" in parenthesis (supposed to be the pronunciation ?) other strange
characters - the characters "a" and "i" with u accent on them, and question marks inside
the word. So, the natural reaction again is to change encoding to ISO 8859-1. Then the
upper part recovers French accents, and there appears a different display in
parentheses for the pronunciation, with another set of strange characters.
So, what is the correct one ? The first one, the second one or none?
Of course, once again this is not at all important, as it is just a comment. But it might be
more annoying for more important information, or if (some day) MathAction would use
jsmath or other fonts for math formulas ? I see from the the source code of the pages
that they use UTF-8 encoding, so I would suppose it would require just a small
modification of the configuration of Plone for French on the server, writing accented
letters in Unicode or something like that ? Or is it more complicated, and there is also
something to configure on the local machines ?
