OpenTBS and UTF-8

[Ivan Krechetov]

In OpenTBS 1.1, tbs_plugin_opentbs.php, on line 250:

$x = htmlspecialchars(utf8_encode($Txt));

Why utf8_encode? In our application everything is in UTF-8, and that
utf8_encode makes me convert the values to Latin-1 when merging them
with an ODT template.

Shouldn't the charset dependency be explicit?

Hi,

I agree. TBS usually enables you to choose the charset for default string
conversion in the template. That is the purpose of the second argument of
LoadTemplate() method. But with the Open-TBS plug-in, the string conversion
is forced to UTF-8.

I will rehabilitate the string conversion changing feature in Open-TBS. I
thing the default conversion will stay Ansi->UTF8 in order to ensure the
compatibilty.

Before the fix, you can workaround this problem by adding
$TBS->LoadTemplate('', array(&$this,'MyConversionFunction'));
just after the $TBS->LoadTemplate() common call.
'MyConversionFunction' must be a custom function that does perform both
string conversion and new line conversion, as described in the manual here :

Have a nice day,
