Zoltan Szabo	Wednesday 15 September 2004 11:21:52 pm Can you help me how to insert a "long - " sign (em dash, —) into a text area? I tried the following way: I used -- signs, and in the database dump I replaced all " -- " partsh into — sequences. It still does not work: I can see only these numbers. Is it possible to make a "custom tag" or some other "escape" way for this?
Bård Farstad	Thursday 16 September 2004 12:03:29 am You can make custom tag for this. You find information about how to do that here: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/components/datatypes/ezxmltext/custom_tags You need to use the HTML entity to display the em dash if you are not using any of the following codepages: adobe-standard-encoding cp874 hp-roman8 macintosh next windows-1250 windows-1251 windows-1252 windows-1253 windows-1254 windows-1255 windows-1256 windows-1257 windows-1258 If you use any of those codepages you can also just use the character directly. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Zoltan Szabo	Thursday 16 September 2004 12:49:09 am Thank you. I use ISO8859-2, so none of the ones in the above list. I found a not-very-nice solution, using before it <custom name='emdash'></custom> after it by butting into emdash.tpl a — sign. Is it possible to solve it by a more simple way? I think something in content.ini like TagList[literal]=<pre>;</pre>;htmlspecialchars Unfortunately this way there are 3 ; signs in this row... TagList[emdash]=—;; So it does not work. I would like to solve it by using a simple <emdash> sign in the input text. Any ideas?

Bård Farstad	Friday 17 September 2004 12:36:59 am Zoltan, that is not possible to do. We do not allow special characters to be inserted into the forum and the characterset here on ez.no is latin1--which does not support em dash. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
