encoded characters in plugins

Hi,

I’m writing a textpattern plugin but I have just noticed that the text that is passed to the function I am writing has been encoded.

I am calling my plugin like this:

<txp:krl_myPlugin>some text with ‘ quotes and stuff</txp:krl_myPlugin>

In the function that is called by the funtion the text has been encoded – the quotes have become &#8216; and &#8217; Other things have also happened like FILE being replaced by <I>FILE</I>.

Is there a way to stop this processing happening on text before it is passed on to my plugin?

Thanks,

Kelvin.

Ahhh – it’s happened here as well.

underline underline FILE underline underline was replaced with &lt; I &gt; FILE &lt; /I &gt; is what I was trying to say above!

Re: encoded characters in plugins

are you making quotes with a slash before it? ie: \”

Re: encoded characters in plugins

Could it be that textile gets in your way? I don’t know how you can prevent that for your plugin but in the forum enclose any code you want to display in code tags if it’s more than one line or @enclose it like this@ for shorter pieces of code.

For anything else that you don’t want to be touched by textile, enclose it in double equal signs.

Re: encoded characters in plugins

Thanks for the responses :)

The suggestion of enclosing the code in code tags helped loads and the quotes didn’t get encoded anymore. However, the string FILE (underscore underscore FILE underscore underscore without the spaces) is still getting converted into italics… Is there any way around this?

Thanks,

Kelvin.
