Hello!
For some technical data I do need an Omega-Sign (HTML: Ω)
How is this done - and how can I Enter it in the Online-Editor?
(ez Publish: 3.5.2)
ThanxPeter

We are now working on this problem. Currently our XML format doesn't support html entities.
But there is a good common way to solve the problem: use a unicode(utf-8) coding on your site and just insert any characters in OE. For example you can paste them from any character map utility ('charmap' under Linux).

Thanks! You said:

How is this done? Is tis Apache-Configuration or ez Publish?

I am afraid this requires mySQL 4.1 (and higher) I'm running on 4.0.x an can't update - isn't there any other way?

Sorry, but there is no other way for now. Our core development team decided not to support html entities by now, because they are not supported by the kernel.So, you can use only characters that fit your current codepage, utf-8 is the correct choice for this situation.

By the way, I think that mySQL 4.0 supports utf-8 too, it just doesn't support automatic encoding/decoding. So I think it could work on 4.0 or even earlier.

you're right!
it seems to work with 4.0.x too!I can now use the "Omega"-Charakter in online editor!
But there is one problem: My old content does not show the the german charakters after switching the database. Anyplace a german charakter used to be there is now a "?"
