Subject: RDoc and encoding

Hi,

Running Ruby/JRuby 1.8.7 on Windows XP.

Until now I have been using the RDoc version built into the Ruby
Standard Library. That is version 1.0.1. Now I am trying out RDoc 3.4,
installed via a gem.

I have run into a problem with the double quote chracter. Example code:

RDoc 1.0.1

  require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup'
  require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup/to_html'

  sm = SM::SimpleMarkup.new()
  th = SM::ToHtml.new()
  puts sm.convert('æææ"øøø"ååå', th)

Output:

  <p>
  æææ&quot;øøø&quot;ååå
  </p>

RDoc 3.4

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'rdoc/markup/to_html'

  puts RDoc::Markup::ToHtml.new().convert('æææ"øøø"ååå')

Output:

  <p>æææ“øøø”ååå</p>

It seems as if RDoc 3.4 is adding a double quote in UTF-8 encoding
instead of "&quot;". Running on Windows XP, the normal encoding is
Windows-1252. If I look at the HTML and tell the browser that it is
UTF-8 encoded, the double quotes are displayed correctly. Then, however,
the Danish national characters (æøå) are not displayed as they should.

Do you think I have hit a bug in Rdoc 3.4, or am I missing something?

Claus
