LockedBox Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 When uploading a new chapter I encountered a very strange glitch which turned every apostrophe into what appeared to be an upside down capitol Q. It started when i wanted to upload a chapter, as I was feeling lazy and I couldn't figure out how to add hyperlinks in teh new editor. I selected the upload option form the submit chapter menu and selected the doc file. The menu then complained that it could only accept html or plain text files. I then went back to word, saved the file as a html file using the save as menu and uploaded it. The editor uploaded it with little fuss. I went into the freshly minted chapter to check it and I found that every single apostrophe had been replaced by the strange character I mentioned earlier. I checked the htm file and there was nothing wrong with it, I've attached it along with some screen shots so you will know what I mean. MBWLAYWGS CH2A, with AN.htm You see, it's so damn trippy I thought I was just sleep deprived but nope, it's real. It was relatively easy to fix with copy pasta and control-F but I think this should be looked into sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloImperium Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 It most likely is due to something in the HTML coding of the document causing issues. In the future might I suggest the copy paste function from Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockedBox Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah that's what I did to fix it. Will copy pasting preserve hyperlinks when pasted into the editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 The archive itself doesn't support hyperlinks within chapters, as I understand it. The url will appear, but it will not be an active hyperlink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockedBox Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Bugger. Will hyperlinks be enabled later on? I wanted to make a link to my new review reply thread in my AN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Honestly, I'm not writing the code, so I can't say. In the meantime, just have the URL there, and people can copy/paste it into their browsers. It's what most of us wind up doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
