Using STXNG with non-ascii characters requires that your locale environment must be set correctly e.g. export LC_ALL="de_DE" when you are working with german text. You also have to start Zope using the -L option. When you use STXNG without Zope, your code must look similiar like this: import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,"") from StructuredText.StructuredText import HTML print HTML('.....')

Hi there,

I found out that as soon a text contains umlauts the codes to change its formatting like **xxx** do not work anymore.

I was digging in the source and found locale.setlocale. However this function does not work. Calling it creates a traceback saying that the local can not be changed.

How can this function be used. Or is there an other way to be able to use umlauts?

thanks

Robert
