If you cannot see correctly the accented letters on the html generated pages :
You can force the character coding of your gedcom file : GénàToile manages 3 different codings
- ASCII, generally used by Windows
- ANSEL, often default choice in genealogy programs
- DOS, if your genealogy program runs under DOS

GénàToile gets the coding information in the gedcom file itself. Generally, you don't have to change this parameter. However, some files don't show correctly the character coding. In this case, try an other option.

If your html generated pages have notes and sources where some spaces are missing :
it must be a gedcom file that doesn't respect the rule about CONC lines. Strike "Space before CONC", load again your file, generate the pages, and compare the results.
