[convertchars db=3Dlistofchars.db]testing[/convertchars]

<!--  listofchars.db  -->

[convertchars table=3Dt1]this is your text[/convertchars]

I = add the text --- before and I add the text ,,,  after so that I can = see the result, and my result is  --- ,,,
It's like the convertchars sees the 'from' character, and = deletes it, but doesn't replace the 'to' character.

Really odd.  Any ideas

Terry, this is a good idea, but I'm not hosting, therefor I = do no have access to the StandardConversions.db.   No ftp = access to that file location.

For now = I'm going to do as Donovan suggests, lose the convertchars and use the = grep to replace the CR as needed.
I don't expect any = other characters to be entered into the input form.

Thanks for all the help.

New Q: The docs = say that I can build my own specified .db for = convertchars.   
          &nb= sp;  What would that path look like to my local directory instead = of the path to the StandardConversions.db. ?

Thanks again

Done and done. Keep using convertchars. Also, feel free to = add more entries to the StandardConversions.db as needed.

Hi All,
I could use a = little help.

I'm trying to insert = multiple hyperlinks into a paragraph of text that is read from a = database.

The text is entered by the = user into the database from a HTML form like this:
blah = blah blah  <a href=3D"http://www.domain1.com">www.domain1.com</a> blah blah blah blah  <a = href=3D"http://www.domain2.com">www.domain2.com</a> blah  blah blah  = <a href=3D"http://www.domain3.com">www.domain3.com</a> blah blah blah.

The text is provided to the public in a = template page that should look like this:
blah blah = blah  www.domain1.com blah blah blah = blah  www.domain2.com blah  blah = blah  www.domain3.com blah blah blah.

But, No.   I get = the text exactly as entered:
blah blah blah  <a=20 href=3D"http://www.domain1.com">www.domain1.com</a> blah blah=20 blah blah  <a=20 href=3D"http://www.domain2.com">www.domain2.com</a> blah  blah=20 blah  <a href=3D"http://www.domain3.com">www.domain3.com</a>=20 blah blah blah.

How = do I get the HTML parts of the code to function, instead of being = interpreted as text?

I am using [url]...[/url] in the [append] tag.
I am using [convertchars]...[/convertchars] in the = template page

I've been playing with = the [convertwords db=3Dglossary.db] examples shown in the docs,  = but I can't even get that to work.
Any= insight into how this might be done would be appreciated.

Thank you,
