hmmm looks complicated (I mean, I need a quick solution)... maybe using XML Transform to see the modified XML doc? In fact, what I want is just present/check modified data, I can write it into the parsedXML doc with this special chars with my Python methods... -----Mensaje original----- De: Dennis Allison [mailto:allison@sumeru.stanford.EDU] Enviado el: martes, 17 de diciembre de 2002 15:55 Para: juanm_ruiz@yahoo.es; zope@zope.org Asunto: Re: [Zope] local characters and ParsedXML You might try setting your browser to display UTF-8. Take a look at the mix-in class, DOMIO, in the ParsedXML source, MangeableDOM.py. Internally ParsedXML works in Unicode and evaluates all entity references to their Unicode equivalent. When the ParsedXML renders the text into the <textarea> of the form, it does not recreate entity references from the internal representation but writes the character itself in a representation your browser does not understand. I think the right solution would be to override DOMIO with methods to recreate entity references from the Unicode source so that only ASCII characters appear in the <textarea>. _______________________________________________________________ Copa del Mundo de la FIFA 2002 El único lugar de Internet con vídeos de los 64 partidos. ¡Apúntante ya! en http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/es/
