[dokuwiki] Re: Displaying special characters

Dokuwiki uses utf-8. You should be able to paste the actual character straight into your wiki.

Alternatively, if you aren't easily able to generate the character with your keyboard you can add the entity to ''conf/entities.conf''. Something along the lines of

%Oslash    Ø    or
%937     Ω

Alternatively you could add a syntax plugin to do it. It shouldn't be a difficult plugin to write and a plugin would allow you to use "&" and "#". I am not sure why those two letters don't work in the entities.conf file, perhaps a bug???

Hi all,

Quick question. How can I add special characters to docuwiki pages?
eg. ø

These are not rendered, I'm comparing behaviour to mediawiki where
they are rendered. I made a test in the Dokuwiki playground.

Do I need to embed in special tags? Configure different encoding?
