I found some threads about this (including my own posts), but not the final answer...
summary of the problem: * leaving the default PmWiki setup as iso-8859-1 in a utf8 growing world gives some problems, but changing to utf8 also as PM very well described it * main visible problem is that accented chars *in files names* gives ugly results in the file system, and specially makes the backup to optical media tedious, as the resulting name is refused by the cd/dvd file format. Fixes are: - use utf8 from the beginning (wiki pages about I18N should mention this visibly) - don't use accented chars in titles - is there a way to prevent this? in a world where correct orthograph is asked, it's very difficult to think about removing accents. Nearly impossible in multi-users environment - have a script fix the names (convmv do that) but how about the links? * do convert the site. - adding the utf8 line in config.conf is easy - what happen to file names in this operation (I had few and fixed them by hand on the beginning)? - most pages become faulty - how can one convert all of them, without disturbing the special PmWiki format (script on the server?) I have to do the last step (converting pages), and don't know how thanks jdd _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
