UTF-8 encoding error #123

Closed TCantellow closed 6 months ago

TCantellow commented 6 months ago

When using webshot to capture a .hmtl table exported by the tab_model function from sjPlot, it inteprets the "x" character used when showing the interaction effect between two variable names as "Ã-".

I have tried specifying the tab_model function to save the .hmtl table using UTF-8 encoding, but the error persists.

I have tested every step of the process of exporting, saving, and capturing these .html tables, and can confirm that the error occurs with the webshot() function.

I am using Windows 10, and have also set RStudio's default encoding as UTF-8. I have also opened the .html file in browsers, and the encoding is correct. The error only occurs when using the webshot() function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

webshot uses PhantomJS, which is a headless browser that stopped development in 2018. It is likely that the problem is due to the very old and unsupported browser. Please use webshot2, which uses Chromium-based browsers.
