HTMLHelp Forums _ Markup (HTML, XHTML, XML) _ Converted from ANSI to UTF-8 and now my text is running together

Posted by: Sweet72947 Apr 22 2019, 12:41 PM

Hello,

I was playing around with some older html files I had created a few years ago, brushing up on my html and css, and I converted a file from ANSI to UTF-8, and now some of my text on that page is running together. Specifically my ordered lists have now merged with text. (I converted the file to fix an issue with apostrophes showing as black diamonds with questions marks inside, and that issue was solved, lol). Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
See image for example:

I don't think the css has anything to do with the problem as it wasn't there before I converted my file. Thanks in advance! smile.gif Here's the html:

Seems to me you are declaring 2 charsets.

<meta charset="utf-8"?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

I'm not sure this will fix it but I would try:
CODE

Remove the first line (not sure what the '?' is about).

Thanks. I tried changing that, and a couple other tweaks I thought of, but the text is still showing as merged together. :/

Aha I figured it out. It was something with my css file. I have li set to float left for my navigation menu, and it is affecting other lists. Time to tweak a few more things in the css to work this out!
