- If Freifunk München e.V. is entered as a remark it gets converted to Freifunk München e.V. - This is because cleanhtml is used on the remark text before saving it to the file and the HTML::Entities::encode_entities command that is run on that remark text encodes all higher bit characters as unsafe characters and replaces them with their HTML entity representation. - Have tested out the remark with a range of different characters with diacritical marks and all of the ones tested were re-written. - The use of the cleanhtml makes sense when used on URL's or on text that is going to be printed as part of the HTML code for a page but it doesn't seem to make sense for text used in a remark. - The cleanhtml function is only used on the remark text in dns.cgi and not on any other entries on the page. - Removing the call to the cleanhtml function results in the German umlauts being printed in the remark section. - Many of the WUI pages have the cleanhtml function used on remark or comment text. - fwhosts.cgi does not use cleanhtml anywhere. So all its remark sections work with characters with diacritical marks. - If this patch is accepted, I will then submit patches for the other WUI pages where characters with diacritical marks are re-written in remark or comment sections.
