Question
HTML entities: alternatives?
Hello,
From reading around the forum I get the picture that using ’ or other entities might be less than ideal for a variety of reasons. Is there an alternative for representing some of these? I'd like to make my output valid HTML, and this can be difficult for some characters... and I don't want to give them all up if I don't have to.
I have a pile of text that was entered into an Access db that contains entities, and after moving from a CF 4.5 host to a CF 7 host, some (but not all!) of them display as censorship blocks or bracketed angstrom chars. Can I transform the data to output correctly, or am I stuck editing it?
Thanks for your help
