RDoc Accents

[James Edward Gray II]

I need to include an accented e in my rdoc documentation. é
does not work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Type it literally, and perhaps hack the template to make sure it uses
the same encoding in the Content-type http-equiv tag?

"é" should work in that case ... you just have to pick between
ISO8859-1, Windows-1250 or UTF-8 encoding as far as I know.

That's equivalent to é and it still doesn't work. Thanks
though.

Sort of, but not exactly ...

Thanks
though.

I just did a little test, though, and it appears that rdoc munges the
text. &233; becomes &233; in the output html, so the desired
character never appears.

So one needs to tell Rdoc to not escape entity references.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was hoping someone would feed me.

What is the syntax for setting the charset in the source code?

rdoc --charset=xxxx

(Does rubygems have a way for the packager to specify rdoc command-line
args?)

Ah, quite good. I was wondering how one could ensure that rodc would
correctly render odd encodings when run by someone other than the source
creator, who of course knows to use the --charset switch.

Thanks,
