Hi List, I just started my first Web2Py sample project (the Wiki from the book) and got it even managed to integrate the HTML5 editor Aloha: http://aloha-editor.org/
My pages should use Markmin instead of HTML and therefore I am converting the HTML to Markmin using TAG().flatten() and markmin_serializer. In general it is working and the content is stored as Markmin code, but when using eg. German umlauts like 'öä', TAG() seems to get confused and doesn't handle the encoding properly. On the other hand, when trying to use XML().flatten(render=markmin_serializer) instead of TAG().flatten(render=markmin_serializer), nothing changes at all. XML().flatten(render=markmin_serializer) will return the input HTML string as is, instead of converting it to Markmin. I am trying to solve this issue for two days now and read lots of posts regarding handling of UTF-8 in Python, tried lots of third party modules to workaround this issue, but had no luck so far. I really appreciate your help/tips. :) Various sample code using the Web2Py Shell: https://gist.github.com/caec7bd5b41624d50b01 Thanks in advance!
