=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Kile-devel, I have taken the task of transforming some older documents of my colleague = to=20 LaTeX using Kile.

They don't= =20 show up in the editor, but prevent the file from being saved (error because= =20 character does not fit the selected encoding). They appear as blanks in the= =20 editor, but it is very tideous searching for them.=20 How about an option in kile (or kate, for that matter) that shows up _every= _=20 character in the document including spaces and carriage-returns?

It was my impression that those characters that do not fit the encoding are displayed as boxes. > How about an option in kile (or kate, for that matter) that shows up > _every_ character in the document including spaces and carriage-returns? This, sounds like something useful to me. Perhaps you can send a small test file that has these kind of problems? Kate-devels: is this already possible in Kate, would it be difficult to implement? best, Jeroen -- Kile - an Integrated LaTeX Environment for KDE http://kile.sourceforge.net |

I've tried saving those files by all means, but always en= d=20 up with that error. Deleting the "false blank" immediately lets me save the= =20 file, but that would not help you at all. I can only say that this does not happen with "normal" characters being=20 pasted, but mainly special characters (greek letters, sub- or superscript,= =20 that kind of thing). I can reproduce the error with a large Theta: it even shows up as a Theta i= n=20 the Kile editor but prevents the file from being saved. Deleting that is=20 rather easy, but I've had charakters that were displayed as blanks.

Also, you can try to change the encoding of the file (in View->Set Encoding), experiment a little. best, Jeroen -- Kile - KDE Integrated LaTeX Editor http://kile.sourceforge.net |

Sorry to jump in the middle of the discussion, but I've recently met=20 this problem too, several times when I copied and pasted some text=20 from a web page to KWrite or Kile. By definition it's impossible to=20 save the file (therein lies the problem ;-) and playing with the=20 encoding doesn't change anything... If I stumble again on a web page with that problem, I'll let you know. =2D-=20 Thibaut Cousin Web : http://www.thibaut-cousin.net |
