Character entities in csv files for the su_table shortcode

  • I would like to have html character entities (like © or ö) displayed in tables which use .csv files. The used shortcode is: su_table
    Using a html character entity in a .csv file irritates the output because the semicolon (;) at the end of the character entity definition is interpreteted as the column seperator.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for your help!

  • Have the same problem. I tried to analyze the php code in the file: ../inc/core/tools.php and figured out that this could be solved by adapting the parser in the function su_parse_csv( $file ).
    My idea is, if you have a special character within a string you should enclose the complete string in double quotes (eg: "this is © by Jim";).
    The parser should now ignore the semicolon ; of the special character within the string and not understand it as a column separator.

    I am not a PHP spezialist. Can anybody help me with the code.
    Would also be nice if the plugin author could then integrate the code in one of the next versions.
