Im storing a lot of user-entered data in XML files but i have a problem
with folks submitting stuff just by copying and pasting from microsoft
word. "Smart Quotes" and other awkward text then gets submitted and ruins
the xml, meaning i am searching and replacing item by item to replace
stuff.
Does anyone know how I could do this automatically, as in is there
anything that will convert a string to UTF-8 automatically
ideally $fixed = convert-to-utf($oldmessedupstring)
any ideas? Will CDATA sections allow non UTF-8 text?
