html entities conversion

[Jonathan Bélisle <jo...@rcda.ca>]

Hi,

I would like to know how to encode html entities present in resource file.

Example : home_fr.properties

msg01=numéro

It should print "numéro" when i look at the html source in my 
browser.
If I put numéro directly in the resource file, tapestry encode 
the & to & so I get "numéro" at the screen.

How do I make Tapestry encode my resource files this way.

Thanks, Jonathan.

I think you should write your properties files in UTF-8, tell  
tapestry to read them using UTF-8, output your html as UTF-8 and be  
sure to include the appropriate meta tag <meta http-equiv="Content- 
Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> in your web pages too.

Then you don't need to deal with entities.

Of course, you could just use ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 in all the  
above places too, to get the same effect, for latin-based languages.  
The key is to pay attention to the charset you're using, in all  
places where you're dealing with text data for output.
