Ok. We're going to trace this to the root. The html_quote you are using is in Products.PythonScripts.standard.html_quote() or so, which points to DocumentTemplate.DT_Var.html_quote() which points to DocumentTemplate.html_quote.html_quote() which points to cgi.escape(). The cgi.escape() docs say this: escape(s[, quote]) Convert the characters "&", "<" and ">" in string s to HTML-safe sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such characters in HTML. If the optional flag quote is true, the double-quote character (""") is also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML attribute value, as in <A HREF="...">. If the value to be quoted might include single- or double-quote characters, or both, consider using the quoteattr() function in the xml.sax.saxutils module instead. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node300.html All that being said, html_quote will not solve your problem. One thing you might try is messing with the character coding used on your html pages. The only other option I can see is writing your own convertor. Troy Jean-Francois.Doyon@CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca wrote:
Troy,
OK, well for the purpose of this example, and where I'm starting, is with CMF Metadata, such as the title.
A user enters the metadata using their regular keyboards and so on, which means the accented characters are typed in in ISO-8859-1, and stored as such I guess? (since technically this value isn't HTML, it should be stored in it's native character set)
Now when I output the Title, it comes out in ISO-8859-1 properly, but I'd like to force it encoded as an HTML entity, so when a user enters the word "région" in the Title, it'll be entered/saved that way, and by default be output that way, but ...
My understanding was that uting html_quote would transform that into "région" ... But it's not doing anything different for me. Same with entity notation, &dtml-Title; doesn't do the html_quoting either.
This is using the default metadata templates, or close enough that changes I have made shouldn't matter (I've extended the metadata, but not modified the existing DC setup).
Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this command? Or is there something else I'm not getting?
Thanks, J.F.

Bonjour Jean-François.
We need more information before we can help you. Where is your user typing these characters? In what forms? In what type of objects are you storing this information? We'll try to help you, but we need more information first.

Hello,
I have french content on my site, which means accents and other high-bit type characters.
For the first time a user actually ran into the problem of the characters coming out wrong on his screen, so now I have to fix it :P
I tried using html_quote without success, and also using the &dtml-Title; type syntax (Which apparently is auto-quoted) but in both cases my accents are still coming out in raw latin-1 instead of something like é ...
Of course in the case of the metadata, I don't want to html encode the characters since technically it's not HTML just yet :)
Help ?
