+I had been using ikiwiki for a while without any problems. Recently, however, I'm having a problem with the web editor: accented characters are "mangled" by the wiki. For instance, if I type the character "á", it is rendered as "á". If I look (with `less`) at the html file generated by ikiwiki, I see: `<p>�<83>¡</p>` (the ? sign looks like a square in xterm). More details:
+
+* My machine's locale is en_US.utf8
+* In my ikiwiki setup file I have `locale => 'en_US.utf-8'`
+* If I edit a file in vim, add accented characters, and render the wiki from the command line, the page displays correctly. The problem only appears when using the web editor.
+* I am using perl 5.10.0.
+* The problem appears even when previewing the page; I don't have to save it. I believe this rules out any RCS misconfiguration.
+* If I edit a page with accented characters in the web editor, and then preview it without making any changes, all accented characters are mangled.
+* I updated the system's packages before the problem appeared. I didn't have time to work on my wiki for a few weeks, so I can't point out which update could be guilty.
+* I am running ikiwiki 2.44.
+
+I have googled all over the place and I can't find any mention of a similar problem, which makes me think this is a configuration problem on my end and not a bug. It likely has to do with UTF8; I am at a loss about how to fix (or even diagnose) this, though, and I'd appreciate any pointers.
+
+> More information:
+
+* I downgraded to ikiwiki 2.41 and firefox 2.0.11; the problem still appears. I know
+for sure that ikiwiki 2.41 used to work here.
+* I have upgraded to ikiwiki 2.45
+* On a page where characters are mangled, firefox reports that the charset is utf-8.
+
+> I think this leaves the upgrade to perl 5.10 as the last suspect. Unfortunately, I can't
+> easily go back to 5.8. I will probably install my distro again in another partition, but
+> that will take some time.
+> I've been unable to use my wiki for more than a week now, I'd really appreciate it if
+> someone has pointers or suggestions. Should I move this to a bug?

# Installation of selected docs (html)
The latest release has around 560 files (over 2MB) in html.
perl dependencies installed because that's well documented in the perl world,
but I don't know how to tell ikiwiki to install somewhere other than / --BrianWilson
-> Checkout the tips section for [SharedHosting](/tips/SharedHosting). It should do the trick. --MattReynolds

I am considering moving a news site to Ikiwiki. I am hoping that Ikiwiki has a feature where anonymous posters can submit a form that moderators can review and then accept for it to be posted on a news webpage (like front page of the website).

+
Also it would be good if the news page would keep maybe just the latest 10 entries with links to an archive that make it easy to browse to old entries by date. (Could have over a thousand news articles.)
+> The inline plugin allows setting up things like this.
+
Plus users be able to post feedback to news items. If anonymous, they must be approved first. I'd prefer to not use normal "wiki" editor for feedback.
Any thoughts or examples on this? Any links to examples of news sites or blogs with outside feedback using ikiwiki?
Thanks --[[JeremyReed]]
