Asked by:
Live Writer replace Quotation marks with "

Question
-
Hello!
I have a blog (http://spotterblog.de) with wordpress and i use live writer to publish to it. It's more conviniend then writing in the Wordpress Editor.
In Wordpress you can install plugins. I have one vor Text in two columns. In Order to use the Plugin I have to insert "Smarttags"
But if i insert the Smarttag which looks like this in the Code / html Window in Live Writer
[column width="47%" padding="6%"]
Column 1 content goes here.
[/column]
[column width="47%" padding="0"]
Column 2 content goes here.
[/column][end_columns]
It will be changed in something like this after switching in any other view than the code view.
[column width="47%" padding="6%"] Column 1 content goes here. [/column] [column width="47%" padding="0"] Column 2 content goes here. [/column][end_columns]
The quotation marks are being replayed by " and as a result the Plugin does not work because the tag is not recogniced.
I tried to change something in the options of live Writer because there are some points where are options to replace characters. But it doesnt help.
Does someone have a solution?Sunday, April 5, 2009 10:13 AM

Hi flieger28,
Joe, I'm having the same problem and it's the only thing between having the ultimate code plugin and WLW integration. The auto replacement of " with " is the only thing that breaks http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-synhighlight. I can go into PHP and try to decode_entities first, but it's an unneeded hack really.

I'm using the latest WLW version 14.0.8064.206.Thursday, January 7, 2010 12:47 PM -
You might try changing the markup style from "Default (XHTML)" to "HTML" (or vice versa if it is defaulting to HTML). It might or might not work--I'm not sitting near an instance of Writer to try it. If not, I think you might be out of luck other than handling it on the server side... sorry...Thursday, January 7, 2010 11:19 PM
