Bug#866716: dblatex: Problem processing non-ascii title received from pandoc

[ben.guillon]

Hi Andreas,




Regards,

Thanks for your test that shows this weakness. You're right, I've put the same solution for any non-ascii char. The attached patch does not replace the previous one, but is to apply after the previous one. The SF repository is synched. Tell me if you find another wrong test case...

Hi Benoît,

Thanks for the patch, it is definitely an improvement, as it succeeds
for the example document bad-title.xml.  However success or failure
seems to depend on the non-ascii latin-1 characters: "À" is okay,
however other latin-1 characters like "æ" are not, compare this example
document [1].

I don't know why pdflatex is able to handle some non-ascii characters,
but not others.  Perhaps a more robust approach would be to transform
every label/hyperlabel to pure ascii, e.g. by replacing non-ascii
characters with their Unicode code point: æ → U+00E6.
