Any suggestions ---- -I had been using ikiwiki for a while without any problems. Recently, however, I'm having a problem with the web editor: accented characters are "mangled" by the wiki. For instance, if I type the character "á", it is rendered as "á". If I look (with `less`) at the html file generated by ikiwiki, I see: `

�<83>¡

` (the ? sign looks like a square in xterm). More details: - -* My machine's locale is en_US.utf8 -* In my ikiwiki setup file I have `locale => 'en_US.utf-8'` -* If I edit a file in vim, add accented characters, and render the wiki from the command line, the page displays correctly. The problem only appears when using the web editor. -* I am using perl 5.10.0. -* The problem appears even when previewing the page; I don't have to save it. I believe this rules out any RCS misconfiguration. -* If I edit a page with accented characters in the web editor, and then preview it without making any changes, all accented characters are mangled. -* I updated the system's packages before the problem appeared. I didn't have time to work on my wiki for a few weeks, so I can't point out which update could be guilty. -* I am running ikiwiki 2.44. - -I have googled all over the place and I can't find any mention of a similar problem, which makes me think this is a configuration problem on my end and not a bug. It likely has to do with UTF8; I am at a loss about how to fix (or even diagnose) this, though, and I'd appreciate any pointers. - -> More information: - -* I downgraded to ikiwiki 2.41 and firefox 2.0.11; the problem still appears. I know -for sure that ikiwiki 2.41 used to work here. -* I have upgraded to ikiwiki 2.45 -* On a page where characters are mangled, firefox reports that the charset is utf-8. - -> I think this leaves the upgrade to perl 5.10 as the last suspect. Unfortunately, I can't -> easily go back to 5.8. I will probably install my distro again in another partition, but -> that will take some time. -> I've been unable to use my wiki for more than a week now, I'd really appreciate it if -> someone has pointers or suggestions. Should I move this to a bug? - ----- - # Installation of selected docs (html) The latest release has around 560 files (over 2MB) in html. -- 2.32.0.93.g670b81a890
