Unicode chars in title does not compile properly to html about doconce

[hplgit]

Hi,

I tried the following test document:

TITLE: Sustentação
AUTHOR: Sustentação
DATE: today

We write some unicode: Sustentação.

and compiled it to plain html, Bootstrap html, and reveal.js beige slides html:

doconce format html test3 --encoding=utf-8
doconce format html test3 --encoding=utf-8 --html_style=bootstrap
doconce slides_html test3 reveal --html_slide_theme=beige

The title comes out right in all cases.

The problem is probably that you did not include --encoding=utf-8. It should be an error message telling this (usually it is but not for unicode in the title), but now there is 😃

Thank you for the fast answer. A make a new test, called test.do.txt:

TITLE: Sustentação
AUTHOR: Marcos Lourenço
DATE: Sexta, 12 de junho de 2015

!split
===== Test unicode Ação =====

!bslidecell 00 0.6
 * Only a simple
 * Test!
!eslidecell

And compile the code with a make.sh:

name=test
doconce format html $name
doconce format html $name --encoding=utf-8
doconce format html $name --encoding=utf-8 --html_style=bootstrap
doconce slides_html $name reveal --html_slide_theme=beige

And still returning an error at the output:

I'm using kubuntu 15.

When I remove the first line of make.sh, it compiles properly. In this case, the make.sh is:

name=test
doconce format html $name --encoding=utf-8
doconce format html $name --encoding=utf-8 --html_style=bootstrap
doconce slides_html $name reveal --html_slide_theme=beige

It is all good now. Thanks for the nice package and for the help!

If you update to the most recent doconce version, you will get a sensible error message about missing encoding in your test case, rather than the UnicodeDecodeError from Python.
