­ in title of article
Hi, I just posted an article with a rather long title with very long words in German. In order to have a smooth recent-articles-list, I used the ­ tag between the words. This works really fine, but in txp_page_title ­ translates into a – which is always displayed. Do you know a work around?

Re: ­ in title of article
Did you try using &173; instead?

When entering &173; the hyphen is always displayed :(

txp:page_title /> isn’t the culprit. Look in page source and you’ll see the ­ entity is still there. It’s a browser issue. Interesting article about soft hyphens here, which I won’t pretend to have fully read, but it’s clear that browser handling of ­ is not entirely reliable.

If you want a workaround, replace <txp:page_title /> with this:
<txp:php>echo str_replace(array('­','­','­'),'',page_title(array()));</txp:php>To set page_title’s separator attribute, use this version:
<txp:php>echo str_replace(array('­','­','­'),'',page_title(array('separator'=>': ')));</txp:php>changing the value as desired (here it’s a colon followed by a space, which is the default value).
Or you could easily make a little plugin out of this.

Thank you very much for your help. The workaround just works great. Probably the escaping of html in page_title would be a nice feature for the coming textpattern version :)
