HTML special characters in issue titles

Added by Emmanuel Bourgerie almost 13 years ago

Hi !

I'm using Redmine via the web interface and the REST API. After having some encoding issues when using the API, I escape special characters before sending the content Redmine.
It also works fine, descriptions are correctly displayed in both web & API.
But it doesn't work for titles : the "éé" string, once converted "éé", gives the screenshot I attached.

I don't know if it's a bug or something I missed, would you take a look please ? :)

After a quick look in the bowels of Redmine, I found this :
subject = h(issue.subject)

So yes, it seems to be a Redmine feature.

I guess that you're sending XML and that you escaped your XML data as if it were HTML; there is a difference between HTML and XML escaping, you can do the test at http://www.freeformatter.com/string-escaper.html.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work at all :(
For the title I now have "éé" but the description seems good.

As far as I understood, there is no specific process when receiving from the REST API. safe_attributes in the issue model does integrity check, but that's all.
