[pmwiki-users] Upgrade to 2.2.35 : problem with some page using apostrophe

[ABClf]

Hi !

Thank you Petko ;
I commented the include_once script, and get my apostrophe printed
back in the last pmwiki version.
I'll test the future version to check if any problem related to
characters still appear.

When explaining my problem, I had the idea it may be related to the
one wich is being asked here :
http://www.generation-nt.com/reponses/probleme-d-apostrophe-et-utf8-entraide-11945.html

Yes, I guess part (all ?) of the problem is related to the copy-pasted
text ; my German friend used Microsoft Word to write his text before
copying it in PmWiki (though he tells me he doesn't do this all the
time).
To be confirmed...

Quote : "if your wiki doesn't have international characters in
page/file names"...
...do you include uploaded files (images, pdf...) too in your condition ?

Gilles.
