 |
|
Hi!
It seems as if truncate counts for example & as 6 chars where it should count only as one.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
I am using smarty 2.6.2, but the changelog doesn't adress this problem. If it is already fixed, please tell me so. |

'&' counts as 1 character. what you mean seems to be '&' which would count 5 characters.
(or your post got mangled by this dumb forum).
anyway: you have to html_entity_decode your strings if you want truncate to get it right. |

I wrote & uuml ; (without spaces) - it seems to be the forum...
html_entity_decode seems to work... thank you. (But still... isn't it strange to count entities as seperate chars?) |

smarty doesn't know about the anatomy of the string you pass and the string you want. even if it would html_entitiy_decode on it's own (which would be bad if you pass plain text to it) then it wouldn't know the target encoding. |
