hello, my script selects a comment saved as VARCHAR in MySQL and displays it inside an html page.
the problem is, that the comment contains several special characters, as mysterious utf-8 hyphens, german umlauts, etc. i could write a function to parse the comment and substitute special chars with the relevant html code, but maybe this already exists in some module? if not, it'll be hard work, as i've to consider many special chars, and at least iso-8859-1* and utf-8 as charmaps. bye jonas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
