International Topic ID

Pavel Faltejsek · Wed Sep 11, 2002 3:15 pm

When I create new topic, topic ID is generated from Topic Caption.
Everything is ok untill I use non ASCII letters in Topic Caption.
I wish these letters change to ASCII letters or an underscore '_'
like space later in editing Topic ID.

International characters in TopicID causes problems with HTML and CHM exports.

I know that redirection of these characters to ASCII is language dependent ,
I have in my programs just two strings with and without international characters

like this
'aeio'
'áéíó'

If this conversion will be in Project properties it will save me a lot o terrible editing...

If I write some delphi application which will update all topicID i lose internal links. I think...

This is a basic restriction with topic captions, and not just in H&M -- my experience is it's best to avoid all non-ASCII characters if you want to stay out of trouble...

Problem is with Topic ID not with Topic Caption
In Topic Caption I must use international characters
and I want HM create TopicID only from ASCII characters.

In other words: HM does not allow spaces in TopicID, I would llike it does not allow any non ascii characters...

This is may wish

. I know it is not easy.
