Exporting special characters to xml

[Kip]

Hi all,

When using characters such as ö / Ü etc. my xml gives a failure:

"H䪡n Hellstr�>

which should be: "Håkan Hellström"/>

How can I solve this?

greetings,

What encoding are you using in the xml declaration? Also, are you sure that the programme that the text is authored in is saving it with the right encoding. Just a guess but I think you'd need to use unicode for characters like that.

Hi,

I use Western Arial text format in filemaker. And export it to UTF-8. I open the file in Altova XML Spy...

Do the weird characters show in the FM export, or after you apply an XSLT to the FM XML?

Hi Wim,

Your question got me going and I finally found the answer to the problem. Thanks. I am using the troile plugin in order to append some doctype data to the xml (yep a work around). I used trfile_setcontents where i should have used trfile_appendcontents with "-encoding=UTF8"

Thanks again for getting me going
