But I just ran into something I'm not sure how to fix. In
./lib/plugins/conf/lang/en/lang.php you'll find the following:
$lang['cssdatauri'] = 'Size in bytes [...] This technique won\'t work in IE
< 8! [...]';
The problem here is the "<". Although that is very easy to fix, it causes a
problem, because most of the language files are translated by many
volunteers through translate.dokuwiki.org. And the reason I'm not sure what
to do, is because I don't know how translators will "translate" any fix?
I just noticed that we have the same problem here:
$lang['btn_newer'] = '<< more recent';
$lang['btn_older'] = 'less recent>>';
I noticed that as well and checked it earlier. Here we are using hsc()
around the output, so it is *not* a problem. But...
For those two I would suggest using an UTF-8 arrow character instead.
The Question is which one.
Could you check which of the arrows at
http://www.dokuwiki.org/playground:arrows work for you guys?
As those characters are typographically not correct anyway, to change
them is a good idea. (And it would make "translation rules" more
consistent.)
I like Rightwards white arrow and Left-shaded white rightwards arrow.
Another option is to not use any characters there at all, but
*background images*. Something like the default template's closed.gif
(plus another one 180° flipped).
The advantage would be that it looks more consistent across all OS and
browsers.
