Hi everyone :)
I've been trying things out at the pmwiki pmwiki, if that makes
sense, and whatever version they are running there displays
Vietnamese UTF-8 text _perfectly_. No black triangles.
<does virtual Unicode-happy-dances all around the room
The admin had to enable it in the pages, in some specific way, since
the default is still iso-8859-1 (Latin-1), but once that is done,
it's correct.
Even more exciting was the discovery that UTF-8 linknames work!
I don't want to dump a whole lot of extra work on the D-W wiki admin,
but could we update to this Unicode-friendly version?
I found a bug listing the display problem with individual UTF-8
characters: evidently they've fixed it. I'm impressed.
I'd really like to see my Vietnamese text (and all other languages!)
displayed correctly in the D-W wiki. Is this update doable? Can I help?
The people on the pmwiki list are very helpful, although it seems to
be fairly high-traffic. It would be a good place to ask questions if
necessary. They've responded very quickly and helpfully to my
localization questions.
I am tickled pink about this full UTF-8 display. It's one of my
favourite things. After chocolate, of course. And pure trig. And sf.
And poetry. And...
