Hello,
This seems rather simple but it doesn't work as expected:
I have a string like "'école" I would like to get "école".
I tried:
@aName = CGI.escapeHTML(myString)
but it doesn't work?
(I am not doing a rails application, just a simple script)
Thanks,
Alex

My fear is that escapeHTML simply isn't that smart.
You might have to hand-code those cases. If it comes to that,
please share it with everyone else. Maybe it could even
find its way back into the lib.
Where is James Bond when you need him? He was always good
at escaping international characters.

Get this:
http://htmlentities.rubyforge.org/
And do this:
HTMLEntities.encode_entities("école", :basic, :named)
# => "école"
(Make sure that you are using UTF-8)
