RLH 2006-01-26: Do we have to link our pictures from an outside source? It would be nice, just for personal pictures, to be able to stash them on the server.

gg 2007-01-03 - You do indeed. See http://www.cjb.net for a free host with easy setup. I think they support linking to pictures externally. Else there are enough free hosts available.

FB 2007-07-20 Photobucket http://photobucket.com hosts photos for free

AMG: Would it be acceptable to post pictures in the Half Bakery? Example: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/_repo/images/ .

NJG January 5, 2005 -- Please, whoever processes this (and other pages) pay attention that accented characters remain intact!

AMG 27 Jul 2005: (Is there a wiki page to discuss this problem? If so, move these comments and post a link. And put the link in the editing quick reference. If not, we need such a page.)

I know it's an ugly solution, but we might try writing a filter to convert atrocities like "Hellstr????öm" and "Hellstr?öm" back to what nature intended. I guess you'd just recursively apply [encoding convertfrom utf-8 $mangled_string] until the step's result equals the step's input. (But I doubt this always works...) Or at least scan the wiki for "double Unicode" so we can manually patch up problems.

Or add a detection script which checks each page edit for charset bogosity and either attempts to silently fix (i.e. break) the submission or give the user a chance to make things right. I dunno. Something. But I do know this is making Tcl look bad; this wiki gives the impression that Tcl isn't really Unicode-safe after all, even though I logically understand that the real problem is misconfigured browsers.

Lars H: The page for this issue should be [Wikit Problems], should it not? (I'm not making this a link because don't recall if linking to a page from this page will exclude it from Wikidiff or not.)

As to your concrete questions:

1. I know from experience that [encoding convertfrom utf-8] mostly does the trick, but not always; sometimes there has been other sorts of garbling at work as well. Also be aware that not all of a page need to have undergone the same number of garbling rounds, and that [encoding convertfrom] won't necessarily stop at the ungarbled form of the string.
2. I'm pretty sure I've suggested some kind of detection check (just idea, no code), but at that time noone seemed to be interested.

Feel free to move this discussion to a more suitable page when you've read it.

Hi Tcl community,

I wonder if you can help me, I currently have a requirement from a very well known company in the UK for 15 Tcl developers, they specifically want people who have transactional experience for permanent roles, if this is you or if you know of anyone who may be interested can you please pass on my contact details [email protected]
