RE: [Webmacro-devel] special characters

[<kea...@na...>]

Dario,

Finally getting around to upgrading, huh?  I can barely remember back that
far but I think I may be able to help you out.

1) WM now uses UTF-8 as its default input file encoding.  This was a
controversial decision, since most Westerners use ISO8859_1 (aka Latin-1).
Most likely your files are stored using Latin-1, so you should set the
TemplateEncoding in your WebMacro.properties:

TemplateEncoding: ISO8859_1

Alternatively you could set this as a parameter in your templates:

#param $TemplateEncoding="ISO8859_1"

2) I'm not sure about this one, but I'm guessing that your $Session tool is
not getting loaded properly.  Crank your logging up do DEBUG and check your
log to see if this is the case.  Usually these kinds of problems are due to
old WebMacro.properties files.  Most of the settings have been moved into
the jar file now (in WebMacro.defaults) so you should need few if any
settings in the properties file.

Hope this helps.
