I expect that's the encoding not being set for input or output.  Is is the
.dvsl that contains the characters in question, or the XML?

I'm a lurker on the list.

I'm very grateful for the normal cordiality on the list and the humour and
good time and info shared  .

Recent events only confirm that Geir and other regulars have made Velocity
an excellent product.

Funky A's in output??

I apologize if this is a duplicate message; however, I haven't seen the
message on the list yet, and I'm not sure if I actually sent it the
first time.  

In any case, could someone please verify that these funky A's show up
for them as well.  Here is a very simple test:

   - Edit the example in the DVSL distribution examples/simple/xdocs
     directory such that example1.xml contains the following:

        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        
        <document>
          <section name="foo">
            <p>
               Hello from &#145;section&#146; foo
            </p>
          </section>
          <section name="bar">
            <p>
               Hello from section bar
            </p>
          </section>
        </document>

     The only difference between the above file and the one in the
     distribution is the use of "&#145;" and "&#146;" which are single
     left and single right quotes respectively. 

   - Then build the example and look at the resulting HTML document that
     has been generated.  Do you see funky A's where the single quotes
     should be?  Or is it just me?

What I'm unclear about is why this works fine with Anakia, but not DVSL.
Both use Velocity so I'm hesistant to modify any Velocity specific
settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Pete

You can add Swedish (åäöÅÄÖ) to the ISO-8859-1 list.

On the doc I read, it stated that it was UTF-8 the default ... anyway, 
this is part of
the past !

BTW, do you know which languages ISO-8859-1 covers ?
French is for sure, maybe Austrian, but what about German ? Spanish ?

I submitted a patch for the build file responsible for generating the 
docs in Maven,
but I am not sure whether this is the ideal solution.

I checked that setting the encoding to ISO-8859-1 didn't break any text 
in the
existant docs, but I don't know if it can fit most people's needs.

Any thoughts / infos ?

Stéphane

See the ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) character set at:
    http://www.ep.cs.nott.ac.uk/misc/isolatin1.html

I read somewhere about the update to ISO8859-15, which now
includes the EURO symbol. see also:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/euro/article.html
   http://www.kostis.net/charsets/iso8859.15.htm (and others)

Here's what I don't understand.

1) I thought I was reading it on the site last night. Updated.

2) On my box, I didn't need to specify outputencoding, as the default is
ISO-8859-1


I don't understand how this fixed it, but I am happy it works.  I won't be
sending you a tarball :)

Hourrah !!!! DVSL : french characters (éàçèêë) are supported !

Posted by Stéphane MOR <st...@yahoo.fr>.

Yipee Yipee Yipee !!!!

I hope someone told me "Read The Fucking Manual" before !

In fact I did a "grep -r encoding *" - still better than actually 
reading  ;-)  -
in the dir where I checked out Velocity-DVSL from CVS, and saw an output
like that :

"docs/ant_task_reference.html:       outputencoding"

So I read the page, and all was described there.

I tried it, and Abracadabra, it worked !!!

Thanks all for trying and help me, this was really frustrating me.
Stéphane

PS : maybe the jakarta velocity site would need a little update , huh?  ;-)
