non ascii code in template for cheetah generator erorr

[Eelco F]

Hi,

I'm trying to include some html from an external source in one of my templates. However these html contains some non-ascii symbols like the degree symbol or ë, á ï for instance.

These html files are encoded in UTF-8.

The cheetah generator doesn't accept them:

Apparently only the 128 ascii codes are acceptable? So no extended ascii or UTF-8? Is there a way to get this right?

I could use sed to replace these characters, but I would rather leave them in place.....

Hi,

So have you explicity set or tried changing the encoding parameter for the report concerned in skin.conf? eg

        [[[testreport]]]
            encoding = html_entities
            template = testreport.tmpl

You can read about the encoding parameter in here in the weewx Customization Guide

I tried your suggestion, but it still yields the same error.

To be more precise: I have a template which include a general header for my webpages. Further down on the page I want to include a simple html page from our weatherservice.

I could do this with an iframe, but then I get problems with the css. So I just wanted the template to include the html.

The template contains the line:

#include "/dir/weather_service.html"

weather_service.html is in UTF-8 encoding.

the error: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Cheetah/Compiler.py", line 1579, in __init__

If the html you are including is complete try

#include raw "/dir/weather_service.html"

[Andrew Milner]

.... or possibly, at the start of the template

#encoding UTF-8

to say that the source is UTF-8 encoded - both these suggestions come from reading the cheetah user guide:

All right, this seems to do the trick. Haven tried your second suggestion, but thanks al lot!!
