HTML Entities (funny characters)
One of our staff noticed this issue with the accent marks I entered into SimplePath. Is there a quick fix to make the accents appear correctly or do I need to take his first name out of the CTS?

Hi Jon,
The issue is when you copy and paste characters with accents (or other odd characters). Some browsers handle these fine, which is why it looked good when you and I previewed. But other browsers don't.
Best practice is to substitute the characters with HTML Entities. You can find a list at: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp
We do have on our roadmap to add a feature that would automatically do that conversion. But for now, we recommend using HTML entities.
Hope that helps!
