I know this is a very old post, but I thought this might help someone else. I had the same issue (except with Danish characters), and my work-around for files that only contain one or two Danish characters, is to place the following comment in the HTML: <!-- Force UTF-8 encoding by TextPad ...

I discovered that TP will save files as UTF-8 if they contain more than two characters that need it. My work-around for files that only contain one or two such characters, is to place the following comment in the HTML: <!-- Force UTF-8 encoding by TextPad: æ Æ ø Ø å Å é --> Now those files sta ...

When I configure preferences for a document class, I can choose whether to Create new files as PC, UNIX or Mac. Do I base my choice on what my computer is or on what the web server is? For example, I am editing files on a PC but they are destined to reside on a Linux server, so which option would I ...

I've been using TextPad to create websites for over a decade (currently v.5.4.2), and until recently my sites had always used iso-8859-1 encoding. However, my most recent site uses UTF-8 encoding, and I need clarification on some issues related to that. I discovered that I need to save my files as ...

Thanks for the quick and very helpful reply, ak47wong! Hopefully, I'll have a better experience this time than I did last time I switched to a new computer. Now that you mention it, I remember having the same problem with key bindings back then. Custom macros are definitely a weak area in TextPad.

I've got exactly the same situation as VSLEWIS and I found kengrubb's answer unsatisfactory. Although I'll follow his suggestion to hold off on the upgrade to v.7, he seems to be saying that there is no easy way to migrate my custom macros, keyboard shortcuts and settings to my new computer. Is my ...

I recently upgraded from TP 4.7.3 to TP 5.4.2 and now I can't specify which program Windows automatically uses as HTML editor. I used to have it set to TP, but now there's nothing to select from in the box. Could it have something to do with the fact that I installed the upgrade on top of the ...

I recently upgraded from TP 4.7.3 to TP 5.4.2 and at the same time started using workspaces for the first time. When I exit a workspace, TP appears to close properly, but my computer immediately slows almost to a complete stop. Upon investigation, I discovered that Task Manager shows TP still ...

It's been over three weeks, and I'm still waiting for some clarification, helios.

Please also ensure that the files are in the relevant folder, as listed under Configure / Preferences / Folders / WWW Root folder. I had already done all the steps you suggested (you've posted them before). The only one I don't understand is your last sentence. What files are you referring to? The ...

I've been using Textpad for many years, but a problem has suddenly appeared. When I click "View in Browser" with an HTML document open, I get the following error: HTML Browser ------------------------------------------------------- The system cannot write to the specified device. Clicking on an HTML ...

Wow!! It's been six years since this question was first posted, and the problem still exists. I'm using TP 4.7.3 (tried v.5, didn't like it), and every so often one of my macros stops working properly, so I delete it and recreate it. When I go to assign the shortcut key, I discover that some/all of ...
