Backing up HTLAL logs -- character issue.

Postby Peluche » Thu Apr 21, 2016 3:13 pm

I'm having a character problem when backing up my HTLAL log.

When I do the print thing, the first post by Mareike in my log on 26 December 2013 comes as:

Ich wünsch dir viel Erfolg!

Have you thought about a "Gesprächskreis".



Any way to fix the messed up characters?

Before copying the text from the printable version, change the character encoding in your browser to UTF-8 for that page. At least Chrome and Opera can do that, probably also Firefox.

I just save it from the Printable version and add the line:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Just after the <head>.

The immediately obvious problem with the printable version is that the links don't work. Not the end of the world, I suppose!
