>Say goodbye to encoding issues

And good riddance! Utterly thrilled to hear this.

[troels → Groxx]

Bold words. I can guarantee that encoding issues will prevail. They may be of another sort, but they will never go away magically.

[Groxx → troels]

Certainly. But you can remove the ones you create (to reach "zero"), and patch some of the ones you don't (to reach... "-zero"?).

Anybody have more in depth details on how this was achieved? K thx bye!

Well, the first thing is like the post said: Ruby 1.9's string encoding support is much, much better. For more on this, see wycats' post here: http://yehudakatz.com/2010/05/17/encodings-unabridged/

Secondly, Rails 3 has some tricks up its sleeve, with things like the Rails Snowman: http://railssnowman.info/

Thanking you kindly sir.

Me too, this is perfect for the literature website site I'm working on.
