Note that there is an issue with ’
Which allows for a quick Apache CMS debugging lesson.
The markdown for that part of www.apache.org/index.html is this:
<div id="impact" class="grid_6">
<h4>The Apache Blogs</h4>
{% for e in planet.list %}
<div><h5><a class="entryTitle" href="{{ e.url }}">{{
e.title }}</a></h5>
<p>{{ e.content|safe|truncatewords_html:30 }}</p>
</div>
<hr><br />
{% endfor %}
<div>
{{ e.title }} escapes the character entity in the title as "&rsquo;"
From http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autoescape we see that
this means that e.title was already escaped with & replaced by &
Am I correct that this extra escape needs to be removed in either the building
of planet.list in the main apache site's view.pm or {{ e.title }} modified on
index.mdtext?
Otherwise blog author's have to know not to use those characters.
And there was a question about foreign language posts. I think these will
encounter similar issues.
Regards,
Dave
