I have a word document that I output as a .'.mht; file ie, a 'single file web page'.
I can put sections of this into a string field in a database and then display the field through a view, and the formatting in the word document is preserved. here is a line from the file that I read into web2py and insert into a field in a database. <p class=3DStyle7 style=3D'line-height:11.5pt;mso-line-height-rule:exactly'><span lang=3DEN-US style=3D'font-family:"Adobe Garamond","serif";mso-bidi-font-family: "Adobe Garamond"'>‘One Lettuce Does Not a Salad Make’ is similar to Jones’ story ....... Everything works fine except the apostrophes in the text disappear. When I display the field on the screen, there are no apostrophes. I f I 'view source', it is as above, but without the apostrophe's before One, after Make and after Jones. Clearly this is an encoding problem. If I read the .mht file into textpad, the apostrophe's appear, and textpad says the file is 'ANSI'. The question is how do I read the file in such as way as to correctly encode the apostrophes? I have tried various encodings including 'locale.getpreferredencoding()'. Does anyone know how to solve this problem Thanks Peter -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
