Hi,

I have an issue for the editor and the small ligature OE.

The character is correctly documented in the list of latin characters.

When I copy a word document containing the small ligature character like in that word: Une œuvre, and I use the tool Search for Undocumented Character, the change to the HTML code is not working. It works fine for all other characters.

I tried to delete and to recreate the entry but same result.

Does anyone know how to solve the issue? It is important because in French, the œ is used very often.

Thanks for your help,
SIncerely,
A. Guillen

You should find everything you need about the French character set here:

Hi Inger,

thank you for your reply and the link. Unfortunately, it does not help me.
The list contains all the codes. They are well documented in Coffeecup.

My issue is that the character is not recognized by the search tool for undocumented characters. It works fine for the others characters like é, à, è, etc
I would have to change all the latin characters using the tool.

Thanks for your help

Perhaps I've not understood quite what is wanted, but perhaps one could use Edit > Replace (Ctrl+h) to replace in one go all the characters œ in the document(s) with œ .

I'm also having a problem understanding the problem thoroughly.

Amar, do you have a French keyboard with the 'œ' as one of the keys? And if you use it in the HTML Editor, how does it display when you preview it / upload it to the web? If the display is correct, you don't actually have a problem.
But if it displays as something 'rude' , then Frank's way will definitely help. I used the exact same method 'in the old days' when I was new to the HTML Editor and before I had learnt it properly. Not for French, but I've made a fair amount of German and Turkish sites in the past.

Thank you to both of you,

Sure the trick of Frank works well. But I think it is better if the change can be done with the tool.

I create 8 to 10 pages per day for my work. It is easy to forget the change manually.

In have to copy/paste everytime the character and the code when I use CTRL H. There is no way to memorize a sequence with Coffecup.

Do you think that it can be possible to solve the issue with the tool in the future?

@Inger. There is no such key on a french keyword. I write all my texts with Word. The characters is created automatically.

Sincerely,
A. Guillen

How are the French able to write a text in their own language if there is no key for the 'œ' ??

I made an experiment, I copied the 'œ' from your text and wrote some French words in the HTML Editor. Here:

Copy this and paste it into your HTML Editor and see if you get the same. as I did.
When I previewed this in my browser, they both came out the same. Maybe you shouldn't have to use Word to write the text first. Word and the other apps from MSOffice have their own coding that might mess up the HTML.

1. I like the idea of the Find... and Replace... facilities having the history of past searches etc. being available from drop-down boxes within those items. That would be useful to a very wide audience.

2. To make the case for the character œ to be included in 'Search for Undocumented Characters' it would probably be necessary to demonstrate
(a) why Inger's suggestion (just leaving that character as it originally appears in the html file) would be unsatisfactory, and
(b) that this particular omission from the 'Search for Undocumented Characters' facility is more important than the likely numerous other such omissions.

These forum threads are, of course, primarily for users of CoffeeCup software to help each other. One can make suggestions for the CoffeeCup team in https://www.coffeecup.com/forums/html-e … ml-editor/ .

@Inger.

There is no key for that character in a French keyboard. This is not the only one. Word changes automatically the character when you type oe. It works fine.

Word is a very tool for me. It allows me to correct my texte using Antidot (from a canadian company).

I copied and pasted your text in my Coffeecup, then I display the page with Firefox and Chrome. It works fine.
But in case of, I prefer to change all the accentued characters to their HTML code. I guess it is better.

@Frank.

Thanks for the idea. I am going to make a suggestion to the Coffeecup team. I hope they will take care of it.
Pending a possible update, I am going to continue to use CTRL H.

Thanks for your time and your replies.
Sincerely,
A. Guillen
