on apostrophes and dotdotdot
I have a simple question: where can i edit the “quotation marks” and ‘apostrophes’ and “…the dotdotdot…” in the textpattern folder so they’d appear raw like plaintext? thakyou!:D

Re: on apostrophes and dotdotdot
just the three – the quotation marks, apostrophes, and ellipses. I tried to edit classtextile.php from the lib folder, followed my common sense and simply erased the lines that does the replacement to these three, but nothing happened. T_T

Re: on apostrophes and dotdotdot
After editing classTextile.php, you have to save the articles again (the conversion of text using textile in articles happens only upon saving the article).

Re: on apostrophes and dotdotdot
you might be able to find and replace all via mysql. A programmer is needed here to let us know if the link I’m posting is ok to use for what you need.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand a programmer’s language. ekk. but if you would provide some guidelines that would be great. :)

Re: on apostrophes and dotdotdot
As I said I am not a programmer so one is needed to confirm… The way I understand the script and how it could be used in txp is:
update [textpattern] set [body] = replace([body],'[“]','["]');
Note
do not execute the script before a plugin or a txp developer here confirms that it is ok

Not quite right, but close.
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE(Body_html, '“', '"');
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE(Body_html, '”', '"');
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE(Body_html, '…', '...');
Just open up phpMyAdmin and run those (“SQL”) on your Textpattern database.

Re: on apostrophes and dotdotdot
"N4m Design & Immersive Imaging":javascript:FullScreen('http://www.n4mdesign.com/');
is turning into this on the resulting browser page:
N4m Design & Immersive Imaging');
The link doesn’t work. The highlight is there but but does not launch a new window and the corresponding page.
My service provider tells me it is not their doing (wrong character set) but something happening in the TextPattern script as it gets interpreted into html and writes the page. The offending character is apparently the apostrophe.
How can I fix this? Thanks,
