french special characters in FP2002

[Yves]

Hi,

I'm building a Web site in French using FP2002 on a UNIX server running
Apache supporting FP extension.
By default, FP will not convert accent characters to their basic HTML code
(ex.: &eacute) using the normal (WYSIWYG) page. I need to manually replaced
every characters (doing a search and replace) in the HTML page.

Is there a way to have FP doing it automatically without passing by a macro?

No, and it is not necessary. These characters have been supported in
HTML since HTML 2.

Thanks for your answer,

Can you then, explain why those characters look like Chinese characters on
the server?
Take a look at: test.sctt.ca

Where the problem is coming from... The server?

Because you've cut-and-pasted them from some other page?

Here's what you actually have in your html code:

<p>à&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;agrave;<br>
â&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;acirc;<br>
è&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;egrave;<br>
é&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;eacute;<br>
ê&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ecirc;<br>
ï&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;iuml;<br>
ô&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ocirc;<br>
ö&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ouml;<br>
ù&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ugrave;<br>
û&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ucirc;<br>
ç&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;ccedil;</p>

Those &amp; parts have to be changed to read & only, as in &egrave; not
&amp;egrave;

Easily done in html view. Or you can use "insert symbol" in FrontPage.
Or copy and paste from charmap.
