    Typography

    Why can't I get things like right-side quotes, en dashes and the like to work in Umbraco? (or is it a TinyMCE problem?)

    Whether I enter the character using keyboard shortcuts, enter eg ’ explicitly in HTML view, or use TineMCE’s Insert Special Character button, it always reverts to a straight quote mark.

     

    I found a post that said you had to change:

    <TidyCharEncoding>Raw</TidyCharacterEncoding>

    to

    <TidyCharEncoding>UTF8</TidyCharacterEncoding>

    … in umbracoSettings.config – but it's already set that way.

    You could do something like what's in this thread (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/6266-Empty-p-tag-when-inserting-macro-into-text-editor).

    Replace the value to what you want after the document is saved.

    Hi Robin,

    Doug Mackay created a package that allows em/en dashes and the quotes to work, should fix your issue - see http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/nd-replacement-tidynet

    Hope this helps,
    Tom

    Tom,  thanks also.. I knew I had seen that package but wasn't quite sure of the name...

    Thanks Tom

    I 'solved' it by making some changes to tinyMceConfig.config – but this is much better. Thanks!
