Alex O'Ree commented on VELOCITY-975:
-
striping it out before sending to velocity is a work around, but it's far from
ideal. It's hard to know what characters it will joke on. hmm, maybe i can rig
up a test to simple test all of the characters until a pattern emerges. I'm
working with content extract from an office document so there's absolutely no
guarantee that the character set can be entirely cleaned up.
Do you know what character set velocity is restricted to?
