Punctuation Marks
Hi there,
I have a problem occurs when content is pasted in containing curly punctuation
marks instead of the standard pc keyboard punctuation marks which are
vertical/straight.
E.g.
Curly punctuation marks - ?Double Punctuation Marks? / ?Single Punctuation
Marks?
Vertical/Straight punctuation marks - "Double Punctuation Marks" / 'Single
Punctuation Marks'
Is it any coldfuion function or method to replace all the curly puntuation
marks to vertical/straight punctuation marks without re-type on the pasted
content?
Your help is much appreciated.

These extended characters (including smart quotes which MS Word automatically
inserts) can cause a problem in web displays. There's a handy program called
DeMoronize by Shawn Porter that can strip these out:

It replaces these characters with their simple equivalents or else uses HTML
extended characters to display them.

You can always use Replace( ) to replace those offenders.

I had tried the Replace() and ReReplace(). Both of them won't work with the curly punctuation marks.

there's nothing "wrong" w/those chars that getting your encoding right won't correct. try utf-8 or the windows latin-1 codepage (not iso-8859-1).

Like Paul says, encode your page and variables properly and you're good to go.
Unicode (utf-8) is where its at.
Love your new tagline, Paul :D

I insert the <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> after the <body>
tag.
But it won't replace the & to & when I view the source code.
Is it the correct syntax? If not, how do I encode cfm page?

PaulH #9 Re: Punctuation Marks
well cfcontent and the setEncoding functions should probably go in yoru
application.cfm (or its cf7 equivalent). however it seems i don't get what you
actually want, what exactly are you after? if you're after url encoded try the
URLEncodedFormat(stringToEncode, charset) function.
