Special Characters in Templating

Hi,

I am using Templating for creating HTML pages and Visual Format in DCT. When I preview the content typed in Visual Format editor, the spaces are appearing as ‘Â Â Â Â Â Â’ and the single quotes (‘) are appearing as ‘â€™’. How to eliminate this special characters. Any Help is highly appreciated.

I am using:
TeamSite 5.5.2
TeamSite Templating 5.01 sp2 installed.

You need to work with the character set used by the visual formatter.

the file is $iw-home/httpd/iw/config/visualformatconfig.xml

There are several choices, we use entityname, but check out the ektron webiste for (ewebeditpro 2.0) knowledge base for more info.

This is due to the dcr content is being saved in UTF-8 encoding. You need to add a meta line in your presentation template's header section to specify the encoding you are using is utf-8.

That will for sure solve your problem.

BTW, is it a typo that you are using TST 5.0.1 sp2, shoud that be TST5.5.2 sp2b?
