Hi again,
I am coming back... :)
I am sorry :/ I haven't yet understood correctly how things work...
Can you help me?
Here is what I have been experimenting.
------ First try --------------------------------------
Let's consider the following XML file:
=======================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<title>
Etoilé
</title>
</root>
=======================================================
Nota: "Etoilé" (is the French word for "starry").
I used it because I needed a small letter with an accute (é)...
If I open that file with "Firefox" I get the following
message:
=======================================================
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: essai.xml
Line Number 5, Column 9: Etoil?
---------------^
=======================================================
I don't understand why there is an error...
How am I supposed to write it?
------ Second try -------------------------------------
Now, if I replace the "é" character with the code %E9:
=======================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<title>
Etoil%E9
</title>
</root>
=======================================================
and open the file with "Firefox", I have no error
anymore but here is what is displayed:
=======================================================
<root>
<title>
Etoil%E9
</title>
</root>
=======================================================
------ Third try: --------------------------------------
=======================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<title>
Etoilé
</title>
</root>
=======================================================
In that case, when I open the file with "Firefox",
I get the small letter "e" with accute:
=======================================================
<root>
<title>
Etoilé
</title>
</root>
=======================================================
I don't understand:
- I expected the two first tries to work
- and the last one to fail.
What happened is the exact opposite!
I am totally confused.
I don't even know how to ask my question properly.
I think that I understand what "é" and %E9 are...
but I do not understand what é is...
moreover it is two characters "Ã" and "©" instead
of one...
Thank you for your help :) .
Best regards,
