Title: Help plugin does not work with accentuated characters
Post by: gd_on on September 16, 2007, 08:05:41 pm

I tried the help plugin (under windows XP, CB 4471) with a french translation of man pages found on http://manpagesfr.free.fr/. But it does not work. Pages are found, but not displayed. Apparently, it's a problem with accentuated characters. If on a short page, I delete all these characters, the page is displayed. If i had only one accentuated character, the page is not displayed.
I hope you can do something for this.

Thanks. I'll wait the next nightly release.
May be an other problem.
I have also downloaded an english version on the man pages. But it looks that some of them are nested (or indirect), and in that case, the plugin does not work.
For example, if I want to find sprintf in the man page.
The plugin tells me that there are 2 entries : sprintf.3 and sprintf.3p
But if I click on the first or the second one, the plugin tells me : Man page not found.
If I look within sprintf.3 or sprintf.3b I find :
.so man3/printf.3
or
.so man3p/printf.3p
I'm not familiar with linux (sorry, I work with windows), but it looks as if it's an indirect call to display printf.3, which effectively gives the sprintf syntax. And that call, under windows (may be it's ok with linux), does not work.
