Hm, upon further investigation, it doesn't look like the text is being
escaped at the variable level. I pretty much confirmed that by doing a
TextEdit-variable-TextEdit loop. The text comes through fine.
So when I upload my text through XML-RPC to a Userland Manila Web site,
the quotes and apostrophes and other special characters are not escaped --
they are converted to HTML entities. This is either happening at Mac OS X'
s XML-RPC layer, or at the Manila Web app. I'm not sure which, or how to
test for it.
I don't see this behavior when I download text from Manila and dump it
into TextEdit.
Hm, any ideas?
I'm not really sure that I understand. AppleScript only "escapes" a
character when it needs to display it in a result window or in some
other "code" environment, ie: "\"" is equal to ", and this is exactly
what you should get if you are passing this character to another
application.
