   hi,

   I am trying to use special chars in my posts (like as ", á, é, é, ...) but they wasn't converted to html entities. I tried to use htmlentities function in my template, and it doesn't work.

   what can I do?

   thanks, and sorry for my bad english...

   What charset do you use? UTF-8?
   Set it to ISO 8859-1

   but, when I use iso-8859-1 in my blog appear something like this é when I use special chars.

   in UTF-8 they appear, but dont validate in W3C.

   The reason for not validating is caused by you (or your tools):
   1. you copy/paste from a word processor that doesn't have utf-8 support
   2. you edit WP files in a text editor that does NOT have utf-8 support

   You could also just use the HTML code for them:

   I think the wp doesn't convert the special chars into html entities (or bug) is the problem. I am searching for a plugin or solution to this...

   But, I didn't find a solution yet.
