Any suggestions >Ubuntu Hardy Heron has a debian package now, but that does not work either. > --Dirk 22Apr2008 ----- - -I had been using ikiwiki for a while without any problems. Recently, however, I'm having a problem with the web editor: accented characters are "mangled" by the wiki. For instance, if I type the character "á", it is rendered as "á". If I look (with `less`) at the html file generated by ikiwiki, I see: `

�<83>¡

` (the ? sign looks like a square in xterm). More details: - -* My machine's locale is en_US.utf8 -* In my ikiwiki setup file I have `locale => 'en_US.utf-8'` -* If I edit a file in vim, add accented characters, and render the wiki from the command line, the page displays correctly. The problem only appears when using the web editor. -* I am using perl 5.10.0. -* The problem appears even when previewing the page; I don't have to save it. I believe this rules out any RCS misconfiguration. -* If I edit a page with accented characters in the web editor, and then preview it without making any changes, all accented characters are mangled. -* I updated the system's packages before the problem appeared. I didn't have time to work on my wiki for a few weeks, so I can't point out which update could be guilty. -* I am running ikiwiki 2.44. - -I have googled all over the place and I can't find any mention of a similar problem, which makes me think this is a configuration problem on my end and not a bug. It likely has to do with UTF8; I am at a loss about how to fix (or even diagnose) this, though, and I'd appreciate any pointers. +> This might be related to [Text::Markdown bug #37297](http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=37297).--ChapmanFlack 9Jul2008 ----
