Hey, Is there a way to take some data that is handed to me from the DB, and scrap it for non-utf-8 character set and do some subbing of data to make it utf-8 compliant? Does template toolkit provide this mechanism?
My problem is, i am generating xml and that uses the UTF-8 charset declaration and some of the data is in french/german/spanish and I am getting invalid xml because of it. It seems that the transition INTO the db is somehow mucking up. So I am curious if I can take that data handed to me, from the db, and massage it into UTF-8 compliant and then write the xml (xml is generated via inline tt file). I don't want to get a special plugin do to time constraints so I am curious if a user enters some non utf-8 characters into the DB and is handed to me in the template, how can I scarp it and do subsititutions? thanks.
