I have a strange issue. I use CKEditor-4 to collect formatted text from user in form of html. Also, the html content is filtered using htmlpurifier from the server.
When the user use quotes like ”, ’ and “ CKEditor converts them into html entities like ”, ’, and “, which is fine. The issue is, when I filter them using htmlpurifier - this quotes get's automatically decoded. This prevents the content from: being presented to user for later edit as the quotes are literally encoded in strage ways like “
How do i fix this? I think, if I could stop htmlpurifier from automatically decoding things, this would work, But I am new to htmlpurifier - so I can't find a way.
I have tried using htmlentities before passing it to htmlpurifier. but it would encode the whole html, Hence: stopping htmlpurifier from purifying html at all.
