Handling HTML entities

By default HTML entities are handled:

• When using the GUI interface (see GUI interface)
• When using the command-line starting parameters (see command-line)
• When using the configuration file (see allowHTMLEntities)

Note that the < and > entities are always allowed in the articles, because they are part of the XML specification.

In the configuration file

This is configured by the escapeNonUTF8 property. For example:

   allowHTMLEntities=false

On the command-line

This is configured by the allowHTMLEntities command-line property. For example:

      java -jar docGenerator.jar -input=wiki/input -output=wiki/output -allowHTMLEntities=false

Supported entities

See the htmlEntities file for the list of supported HTML entities.

For example:

• "×": the multiplication sign (×) character
• "∈": the element of character (∈)
• "∏": the ary product (∏) character
• "√": the square root (√) character
• "∞": the infinity (∞) character
• "∫": the integral (∫) character
• "∑": the sum (∑) character

Example

The following text:

      this is a téxt

Will have the following result in the HTML file:

      this is a téxt

Which will show the following text:

      this is a téxt
