No, only urlencode() won't do the job. He's saying more about the long
spaces and quotes, etc.

I wrote something that converts these characters, which you'll most
often find when copying text from MS Office:

http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk/coding_php_remove_ms_crap.php

The second argument to the function just tells it to remove all the
hidden meta tags that MS Office chucks into text that you copy into a
rich text box in a web page, as this can really mess up how the content
is displayed in a web browser.

Thanks,

Nice one. But not of use to me. I use geshi on my site, so cannot use WYSIWYG editors. Instead I've BBCode and WikiCreole (PEAR Wiki) input formats.
