[TYPO3-RTE] special character handling

[James Knuckey]

I've found that special characters are being handled a bit strangely. It's  
giving me a headache...

They are inserted either using the insert-special-character button in  
rtehtmlarea or pasted from Word and show fine on the front end - until you  
go back and edit the text again. Then they seem to be re-parsed through  
HSC again and show up in the editor as “ (“ in HTML view)  
etc - then often shown up in the front end after editing as the ampersand  
plus number instead of the character itself.

Can I stop content from being parsed again before being shown in the  
editor? This seems to be the problem.

Failing that, can I tell the editor to automatically replace the common  
MSWord special characters such as directional quotes (“ ”  
‘ and ’) and long dashes (–) with their plainer  
counterparts? I'd prefer them all to be plain ones anyway just to be  
consistent - and also so they show up in previews normally instead of as  
character codes like these!

Regards,
James
