Hello everyone.
I'm starting to use Markdown for most of the documents I produce. Usually I go directly to PDF or for more complex documents I firt do a Latex export and mostly get good results. Today I needed to export a document which includes spanish accents to RTF but it doesn't look right in Textedit. Anything with an accent or an 'ñ' just shows as a series of symbols. I have Textmate to encode the document using UTF8.
Anyone has a solution for this?
Thanks,
Andrés
Are you using UTF-8? Sounds like an encoding issue. The relevant command in the Markdown bundle uses textutil which by default outputs to UTF-8. If you are not using UTF-8 in TextMate (and you should) try modifying the command in the bundle by adding the option - inputencoding and specify whatever encoding that you are using.

Sorry. I didn't notice the last line---you are using UTF-8. Not sure what is going on then. Best, Mark On 6 Oct 2007, at 00:20, Andres Gonzalez-Mancera wrote:

Same problem here. When I write umlauts or accented characters they get messed up with the convert to rtf-command from the markdown-bundle. But when I converted them to entities (there's a command in the html- bundle that will do that for you autmatically) the accented characters got shown correctly in TextEdit

Yes, insert ‘Format: complete’ in the top of your MultiMarkdown document.
This is required to make MultiMarkdown output the proper HTML boilerplate with encoding info.
Ideally the various conversion commands would check if headers are missing, and add it if the case.
