I've had an application set up for awhile now that allows a user to post and email newsletters from their site.
The body text is entered on a form using fckeditor, and since these folks are lawyers, almost everything is pasted from Word and fckeditor is handling whatever is thrown at it. Now, they wish to create a RSS feed from all their newsletters. Oh boy. There's all kinds of crap in the data - curly quotes, apostrophies, HTML tags, and gawd knows what else. I've been going nutz trying to clean the existing text enough to create valid XML text so it will display. I start by getting rid of all the HTML junk, which is working fine: <cfset request.bodynohtml = "#rereplacenocase(stories.body,"<[^>]*>","","all")#" > After that, it gets a little weird. I've tried all sorts of functions, xmlFormat2.cfm, ConvertSpecialChars ... chaining rereplacenocase to get rid of left and right quotes, apostrophies, whatever other junk I keep finding ... Nothing seems to be getting rid of everything, and the feed still isn't displaying correctly. I know my code base is OK because I've created two other feeds that are working. There's *something* in the text that's still stopping a correct display. How are you folks handling this sort of thing?
