I have an issue with Sharepoint Designer. Every time I put an accent in its HTML entities form: either é or é, Sharepoint Designer changes it to é upon Check In and isn’t shown when accessing the page on Internet Explorer.
Is it an encoding problem? What can I do to avoid it?
Yes, it is an encoding problem. What encoding do you have defined for your page. If it’s not UTF-8, why so?
You can change the default encoding for new pages in Tools/Options/Default fonts.
You can change the encoding of an existing page by right-clicking the page, picking “page optins” and then in the “Language” tab change the “HTML encoding” attribute.
