Problem with special characters #21

Closed vanderLo closed 8 years ago

It seems like it has a problem with a couple of German letters: ä, ü, ö, ß Moreover it can't handle special characters and symbols like: -, ©, etc.

Kind regards Joe

Hi @vanderLo - what file encoding are you using on the file? I've tried this with multiple encodings and it seems to work.

Could you please attach a copy of the file that you are using so that I can test it?

Hi @deanhume - Been using UTF-8. Could this be related to the problem? Anyway, the problem was entirely solved by using the correct HTML Special Entity Codes for ©, ß, ä, ü, ö, § etc.
