'''Good day! Thank you for a powerful extension.'''

== Problem ==
[[Image:DPL empty line headline.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Blank line in headline]]
I have a problem: DPL extension inserts a blank line in the article title (see picture). Other articles that do not use DPL, displayed without distortion.

I use the original Monobook skin and the following versions of components:
*MediaWiki - 1.15.0
*PHP - 5.2.8 (appache)
*MySQL - 5.1.30-community-log
	
Can you tell me how to solve the problem, please. Thanks!

I have never noticed this so far. If you can reproduce the effect here in this wiki I will probably be able to help. --[[User:Gero|Gero]] 14:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

== Test effect ==

<DPL>
 category=Fictitious country
 include={Country}:capital:name
 table=,,Capital,Name
</DPL>

no effect... Unfortunately, I didn't get to reproduce the problem directly.

But I noticed, if not submitted your wiki, there is an empty string (see figures).

Maybe this is somehow intersects with my problem? (''sorry for my english'':)

== Permanent fix ==
There is a BOM (byte order mark) in DynamicPageList.i18n.php

To find it:
 hexdump -c DynamicPageList.i18n.php |grep "357 273 277"

To fix it:
 tail -1274 DynamicPageList.i18n.php > newfile.php

Add <?php at the top of newfile.php and rename it to DynamicPageList.i18n.php

::Thank you for bringing this up. I will delete the BOM in the next revision of DPL.
::I think one could also use a text editor and change the encoding from ''UTF-8 with BOM'' to ''UTF-8''.
::Many editors offer several encoding types.
