Re: [Orgmode] HTML export: how to delimit escaped HTML entity?

[Sebastian Rose]

What's in your XHTML-Head section?

How does your Content-Type line look? That is,

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>

Change the 'utf-8' to what ever encoding your exported HTML files have.
You can detect the real encoding of the files, by visiting souch an
exported HTML file with emacs.

In the modeline on the left, you can see some indicators, the second
of which shows if the encoding is multibyte ('U') or singlebyte ('1').
Click it to see a full description of the files encoding.

Some more on this:

The world is big. Consider to change your System to use UTF-8
everywhere.

This is what I do here. Every file (and every filename) is UTF-8
on my system and thus things like

ö ß á Á € ø ·

folder
  │
  ├> file
  └> another_file


are always displayed correct. So is the XHTML export of my Org-files.
The characters are not changed to their html entities at all.

Switch to UTF-8 and get rid of all your local problems :-)

The easiest way to do this is just to install a modern GNU/Linux
distribution (use Debian). Just 1 hour and your done, once for all.
