Hi,
I did a little digging about entering text with accents.
It's a bit curious that one can type accents in textarea but to textbox
cannot. In the latter case you can see an escaped print of your input.
In the end I came to htmlformat.py's InputObj. At this point I have a
humble question: who put -s around value? After a s/
value`/value/ in line
#368, almost everything works fine, because this brings up a problem about
quoting. Of course, the patch is here.

Near as I can tell, that's the way the code has been since its initial version. I've installed this change.
