Hi, > $ ruby1.9.1 -e 'require "htmlentities"; t=HTMLEntities.new.encode("<élan>"); > puts t; puts t.encoding' > <élan> > UTF-8
That's the expected behaviour: only the basic entities are escaped by default, i.e. only that which is necessary to produce valid HTML text. If you want the encoder to change é, you must tell it to use :decimal, :hexadecimal, or :named entities, thus: >> HTMLEntities.new.encode("<élan>", :named) => "<élan>" This error isn't a serious failure, and may indicate a subtle change in how Ruby marks string encoding. Which version and patch level of Ruby is it, and is it really 1.9.1, or is it 1.9.2 with a package name of 1.9.1 (i.e. what does ruby -v say)?
