<> </> appearance

Oh well, it's been a while since I couln't solve a Xinha issue myself but this one has me stomped.

My client has got a page with content edited with Xinha where strange <> </> sequences seemingly get added by Xinha.

At first I thought it was because of an old version of the editor so I updated to trunk yesterday and it didn't help.

I also checked if it was my saving function that screwed things up but it's not. When I simply delete the sequence of chars in View source mode, they come back when I switch back to standard editing mode.

Anyone stepped on that issue before? I suspect it might be an issue with some non-standard characters somewhere in the page that gets parsed wrong but I don't really have the tools at hand to see if there's any strange chars in there (The text was originally pasted from a Word document)

Oh, also, the issue only appears in IE. I can easily delete the sequence in Firefox and it doesn't come back but I can't really ask a whole office to switch browsers because of an issue with their CMS ;-)

Thanks in advance

P.S. I tried the forum's search engine but it doesn't really like "<>" as a search string ;-)

Re: <> </> appearance

I would suggest removing these sequences on post. Before actually writing the file, go through the text and remove any tags that have this.

Unless these tags are causing other problems, of course.

Re: <> </> appearance

Thanks for the tip. I'd leave that to the last possible solution though, because the client won't be too happy to see the sequences pop in the their text while they're editing, even if it gets removed upon saving.

In the meantime, I'll try to isolate the html snippet that's causing the issue and post a ticket about it on trac. I wrote here on the forum first because I thought it might be a configuration or encoding issue someone might have seen before...

Please do that, because actually I can't imagine how this can happen
