The XML import process convert the title of pages using Curly quotes.

XMLWordPrintable

      If you have pages that contains Curly Quotes/Smarts Quotes (“”) in it's title and generate a xml backup you will observe that after importing the xmlbackup the Curly Quotes/Smarts Quotes will be converted to regular quotes.

      That will cause any links to these pages to get broken, since the page title changed and hence redirect you to a creating page screen instead of the actual page.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create two spaces called "Dummy Space" and "Testing the Link"
      2. Under Dummy create a child page:
        “Curly Quotes”
        

        Copy the above example because if you use regular quotes you will not see this behaviour.

      3. Now click in Tools > "Link to this Page"
      4. Copy the Link.
      5. Go Into the Testing Link space Home page and paste the link you copied.
        Everything will work as expected.
      6. Go to Confluence Admin > Backup and Restore.
      7. Generate a Confluence XML Backup
      8. Still in the Backup and restore page restore the previously generated xml file.
      9. Go to The Testing the Link Home page.
      10. Now if you click in the link to "Curly Quotes" you will be redirected to a creation page instead of the “Curly Quotes” page.
      11. If you navigate to the page under the dummy space you will notice that it's contentid is the same however the title was converted from:
        “Curly Quotes”
        

        to

        "Curly Quotes"
