So I have been writing my book in #nano then lately I have switched to #Pandoc for export into #EPUB. There is a single issue I have: u00f8 doesn't translate properly with Pandoc. It throws an error and displays odd characters insteadof the one I was going for. Anyone have a remedy for me?
I hate to drag you in, but @klaatu you are one of the few people I know that uses Pandoc. You and @brandon
@sean I am unsure. I know my system is set to UTF8 systemwide. Or is there also a Pandoc config too?
@poetgrant At your shell, use the 'env' command and see what those variables are set to.
@sean oh yes, that says UTF8 for sure. I did check that. Nano is set to UTF8 too. I'm not at my computer or I would screenshot it.
@poetgrant I'm not a pandoc expert but I know for some conversions there are font settings. You might ensure the font(s) you are using for output support unicode (and that problem character specifically).
@sean oh! I am using a weird font for my terminal... maybe that's it... thank you! I will look into this. It is the first lead I've had for almost 6 days. 😃😃
@poetgrant @klaatu It's not an existing issue in pandoc's repo issues though I do find the issue appearing in other repos that use pandoc
@poetgrant @klaatu What's the error thrown btw?
@poetgrant
Where did you download pandoc from? If it's from default repos, scratch that and get it straight from pandoc's instructions
@klaatu
@poetgrant
Just sounds like you have an outdated version of pandoc is all
@klaatu
@poetgrant What are your LANG, LANGUAGE, and LC_CTYPE set to?
