Package: libmarkdown2
Version: 2.1.6-2
As packaged, Discount appears to fail to process Markdown
*emphasis* around text fragments containing non-ASCII
characters. Consider, e. g.:
$ cat < test.mdwn
*Hello, world!*
*Привет, мир!*
*Hello, world!* *Привет, мир!* *Hello, world!*
$ markdown < test.mdwn
<p><em>Hello, world!</em></p>
<p>*Привет, мир!*</p>
<p><em>Hello, world!</em> *Привет, мир!<em> </em>Hello, world!*</p>
$
Note that the *emphasis* form consistenly fails when used with
text containing Cyrillic (and thus non-ASCII) characters.
The Perl Text::Markdown::Discount interface fails similarly:
$ perl -e 'use common::sense;
use utf8;
require Encode;
require Encode::Locale;
binmode (STDOUT, ":encoding(locale)");
require Text::Markdown::Discount;
my $text
= ("*Hello, world!*\n\n"
. "*\x{41f}\x{440}\x{438}\x{432}\x{435}\x{442},"
. " \x{43c}\x{438}\x{440}!*\n\n");
print (scalar (Text::Markdown::Discount::markdown ($text)));'
<p><em>Hello, world!</em></p>
<p>*Привет, мир!*</p>
$
I thus assume that the bug is in the libmarkdown2 library,
underlying both markdown(1) (from the discount package) and
Text::Markdown::Discount (libtext-markdown-discount-perl.)
Strangely enough, the **strong** form /is/ processed, as is the
`code` one.
FWIW, the locale appears to be set correctly:
$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
