[pmwiki-users] pmfeed translation glitch

[Ben Stallings]

Hi, folks.  I'm having trouble with the pmfeed recipe...  I've got an 
RSS feed that has a standard HTML curly apostrophe (’) in the 
title of an article, but by the time it displays in the browser it has 
been converted to ctrl-Y (ASCII 0x19), which displays as a box.

The problem seems to be in pmfeed's unhtmlentities function, which in 
turn calls PHP's get_html_translation_table function.

Questions:

1) Is the unhtmlentities function perhaps left over from an old version 
of PmWiki?  It seems to me that recent versions of PmWiki can handle 
most HTML entities just fine without translation.  If this function is 
no longer necessary, how should I safely go about disabling it?

2) Is it worth looking into whether my server's HTML translation table 
is incorrect?  Is it likely to cause other problems down the line?

Thanks!  --Ben S.
