HTML encoded characters

Just installed Webinator 5.1. It looks like Texis is having trouble with HTML encoded characters. One result has an n-dash character – displaying as –. If you click the link in Texis to view the actual page, the character is displaying properly.

Any ideas?

That's not a public server and I was looking for the link to the page with the &ndash on it. Open a tech support ticket and attach the full output of
geturl http://pagewithndash

Note that – is a multi-byte Unicode character (U+2013) that cannot be converted to a monobyte character set. If your Display Charset is ISO-8859-1 or another monobyte charset, such characters will be translated to `?' because they are out of range.

I just indexed that page with 5.1.24 and default settings and all looks well. What version was your data indexed with?

Download the latest scripts and try indexing (mode new) again.
