HTML Tidy outputs always with nonsense characters

[ikblazing]

No matter how I adjust the options, it always turns my webpage to unrecognizable characters, like the image attached. Does anyone know what's wrong? Thx

Upload as attachment to a further post your HTML (PHP) input file and the entire section [HTMLTidyOptions] from %appdata%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\uedit32.ini to have any chance to find out the reason for this output. Please tell us also which version of UltraEdit you use. English UltraEdit version 16.10.0.1035?

The output I get in the output window when parsing one of my HTML files with HTML Tidy of UE v16.10.0.1035 is only

HTML Tidy Parsing ...OK

and the tidy document in the ** HTML Tidy Output ** document window is well encoded and displayed.

My HTML file contains in head section the line

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

and the file is an ANSI file using this code page. To be more correct, it is an ASCII file because HTML entities used for ANSI letters.

I fixed this:
Download a portable trial version UE and it works so I mirrored every configuration item from it and found I set the UE to create a new file always as utf-8 format.
After changing that to ascii(default) it works well, don know why though, thank you

Thanks for posting what caused the strange display. HTML Tidy always outputs in ASCII/ANSI. UltraEdit should therefore ignore the setting for new files when capturing the output of HTML Tidy into a new file or correct convert the Tidy output from ANSI to UTF-8 or UTF-16. I will report this issue by email to IDM.

Edited on 2010-08-31: With UltraEdit v16.20.0.1009 this issue is partly fixed. If new files are UTF-8 encoded files according to the configuration setting, UltraEdit converts the new file first to ASCII / ANSI before writing the output of HTML Tidy to the new file and therefore the parser output is readable in the new window. But if new files are UTF-16 encoded files according to the configuration setting, the HTML Tidy output in the new file is still wrong and so not readable at all.
