Re: [O] how to sanitize org-protocol text ?

[Fabrice Popineau]

Hi,

I don't seem to have a problem under Win8.1 (but honnestly, Win7 shouldn't make any difference).

I'm using Chrome.

I have

;; Character encodings default to utf-8.

(set-language-environment "UTF-8")

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

(set-language-environment 'utf-8)

(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)

(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)

(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)

;; MS Windows clipboard is UTF-16LE

(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-16le-dos)

in my emacs init files.

Try with these settings, and see if it still fails (restart emacs).

If it fails only on some web pages, please post a link.

Hi Samuel,

thank you for replying.
Yes I am on windows 7, I forgot to mention that. I have not tested this behavior on win 8 yet.

winhate.Add("Ah windows, a deep well of sorrow and disappointment (maildir on win anyone?).")

Anyway,

selection-coding-system : utf-8
current-language-environment: Dutch
file-name-coding-system: nil
default-file-name-coding-system: utf-8
w32-unicode-filenames: t

I was under the impression that setting all the file codings to unicode would remove conding issues, but judging from the amount of posts of Xah Lee on the subject I think I should know better.

Hi,

I just set up org-protocol and it works fine. However, when I have
text selected to have it end up in the body of the new note I get
presented with two problems:

- Every linebreak has a trailing ^M, this does not happen when I paste
the text.

Are you on Windows?

- Unicode quote symbols ? The text is speckled with \222 ("there’s"
becomes "there\222s")  or \221  (‘quote’ becomes \221quote\222)

Again, are you on Windows?

Is there a solution ?

What are the values of the following?
  - selection-coding-system
  - current-language-environment
  - file-name-coding-system
