Hi, I tried using structured text for some documentation I wrote in portuguese, but the accented characters like é, á, ã, or ç break the parsing of markups like *emphasis*, 'code' or _underline_, and in portuguese we get a bunch of those with every sentence, you know... :-) The result is the literal apearance of some characters that should be markup and some opening and closing mismatch of markup when there are more than one occurrence of the same markup, like when you try to *emphasize* twice in the *same* paragraph. This is probably due to parsing with python's string.letters which doesn't include accented letters unless you set the locale. Now the funny thing is that even when I set -L to, say, pt_BR at Zope start (and my glibc has correctly configured locales for pt_BR), structured-text still doesn't parse accented letters correctly. Investigating this, I found out that if you put the following in a 'Script (Python)':: import string return string.lowercase it will print 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' instead of 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzµßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ' Which is what you get in a python interpreter if you type:: import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "pt_BR") import string print string.lowercase Assuming you have a correctly configured pt_BR locale in a Linux machine. This exercise also gives the same results with a correctly configured en_US locale instead of pt_BR. Has anyone else stumbled onto this? Is there a patch somewhere? Speaking of locales, how do I set locale for Zope in a WinNT/2000 environment? It seems like posix locale strings aren't valid strings for locale.setlocale() in Windows. Cheers, Leo
