Hi,
We have a problem with the GWT character map. It contains some
characters that are not ISO-8859-1. The problem is that since our
default encoding is ISO-8859-1 (<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>) the browser replaces for example this
character ∞ with ∞
Our rendering doesn't accept HTML so this value is escaped and is
shown as is.
So we have several non-satisfactory options:
1) Switch to UTF8 by default. A good thing but that won't solve the
problem for those using the GWT editor in ISO-8859-1 encoding.
2) Modify the GWT editor character map so that it only shows
characters valid with the current encoding. This is a pity since it
should be possible to display other chars since the browser knows how
to display them even though the user is not in the correct encoding
3) Introduce a wiki syntax for representing characters not allowed in
the current encoding. However this means we'll still need to replace
∞ with this syntax before the rendering is called and this
forbids users to enter ∞ in the wiki editor so this is not good.
Any better idea?
WDYT?
Thanks
