Hi again,

I've found a little problem with the XML importer related to the charset
used:

I took a sample XML and imported it ok, but when I tried to do it with a
real one, some characters displayed wrong when viewing the new records with
the "my_editors" editor.

After examining the XML I could view that the offending characters were
related to the encoding. I changed the encoding to ISO-8859-1 and tried to
save the XML, but XMLSPY complained about it telling me:

"Your document contains 13 character(s) that cannot be represented in the
ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1/West European) character-set encoding. (...blah
blah...)"

BTW, the offending characters are 0x2026 (three dots character) and 0x2013
(typographical dash), they seem to have been "auto-formatted" MS Word when
typing the texts.

1st question: Which encoding does MMBase use to display data?
2nd question: Is this a fault in the XML Importer module?


Waiting for opinions,

Ignacio.-
