I have some accented characters in the document I imported into notebooks; for example - é (e acute) In notebooks this has appeared as a capital E ( É ).
I don't want to sync back in case this changes all the accented characters on my laptop & desktop PCs so I've stopped using Notebooks for the moment.
Please advise.
Hi,
I suppose that the reason why the character's case changes is the document's text encoding. Do you have a chance to check which encoding is used by the application on your PC? If possible, change it to Unicode (UTF-8) and everything should be fine.
Actually now I've looked closer the character has been changed from é (e-acute) to capital È (E-grave) - so it's also changing the direction of the accent.
The program I am using on my pc is NoteTab Pro. The script is Western(which is the language option) and the font is Courier New (fixed width font - unicode) - this can be changed. In Notebooks the default font is ChalkboardSE-Regular.
There are two reasons I use NoteTab Pro for text editing. 1. It writes clean HTML code, & 2. It has a wonderful series of clip-books which allows users to use short-cuts for many time consuming functions - including a fully customisable auto-correct library - so if you constantly type thrid - it will correct to third for you.
Sorry for not coming back any sooner!
Auto detecting the text encoding (which Notebooks does with imported documents) is a very complex thing and sometimes it is impossible to detect the correct setting (more than one may seem valid, so the first one is picked). Notebooks tests for WinLatin1 first, MacOSRoman next, and one of them is always correct.
Do you have an option to change NoteTab's encoding to "WIndows Latin 1" instead of Western?
