utf-8 on windows about pygments.rb

[robert-hoffmann]

Tested pygments 0.5.4 on windows, here is the result

install

F:\Github\home\headjs>gem install pygments.rb

_config.yml (to have same as github)

# GitHub Defaults
lsi: false
pygments: true
safe: true

# UTF-8 & parse errors fix
markdown: redcarpet

build

Seems more like a path problem. Switching to redcarpet on windows resolves the UTF-8 problems.

Would be nice to be able to upgrade to pygments 0.5.4 to get rid of the python dependencies :-)

I got the the same issue running jekyll on windows x64 and Ruby 2.0.0-p247 x64. I cloned Jekyll Bootstrap. I had 1 warning when I ran bundle install.

Parsing documentation for redcarpet-3.0.0
unable to convert "\x90" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/redcarpet.so, skipping

But my site ran fine locally and the error came first after I tried to get gfm to work by adding this line to the config:

markdown: redcarpet

PS:
Downgrading to pygments.rb 0.5.0 and installing python 2.7 (python 3.3 didn't fix the issue) fixed this issue for me.

[robert-hoffmann]

I also use utf-8 encoding as the default in all my files, so i have to use:

* ruby 1.9.3
* pygments 0.5.0
* python 2.7
* and switch markdown to redcarpet

Unfortunately, Jekyll dropped pygments.rb support: jekyll/jekyll#6823
