Hi again,
I am coming back... :) I am sorry :/ I haven't yet understood correctly how things work... Can you help me?
Here is what I have been experimenting.
------ First try -------------------------------------- Let's consider the following XML file: ======================================================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <title> Etoilé </title> </root> ======================================================= Nota: "Etoilé" (is the French word for "starry"). I used it because I needed a small letter with an accute (é)...
If I open that file with "Firefox" I get the following message: ======================================================= XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: essai.xml Line Number 5, Column 9: Etoil? ---------------^ ======================================================= I don't understand why there is an error... How am I supposed to write it?
------ Second try ------------------------------------- Now, if I replace the "é" character with the code %E9: ======================================================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <title> Etoil%E9 </title> </root> ======================================================= and open the file with "Firefox", I have no error anymore but here is what is displayed: ======================================================= <root> <title> Etoil%E9 </title> </root> =======================================================
------ Third try: -------------------------------------- ======================================================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <title> Etoilé </title> </root> ======================================================= In that case, when I open the file with "Firefox", I get the small letter "e" with accute: ======================================================= <root> <title> Etoilé </title> </root> =======================================================
I don't understand: - I expected the two first tries to work - and the last one to fail. What happened is the exact opposite! I am totally confused. I don't even know how to ask my question properly.
I think that I understand what "é" and %E9 are... but I do not understand what é is... moreover it is two characters "Ã" and "©" instead of one...
Thank you for your help :) . Best regards, -- Lmhelp
