> I am going to investigate a little more why the bug occured > and whether the patch is the best way. It is not good, the tagging is broken with the patch, so xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> line appears at the top of relnotes and other bad things could happen. We moved to XHTML 1.0 for release notes in 5.3 and it seems that we need to add a meta http-equiv statement with encoding: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="charset=utf-8" />) into relnotes html file (it is also recommended in xhtml 1.0 specification).
Since the fix is to the release notes file itself, reassigning to that component.
other issues also seen when using i.e. French or Spanish
Ryan please generate the html and send them to me so i can investigate the rendering issue.
problem fixed by adding the meta statement between the <head> and <title> tags for all htmls. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
