Bug ID: 404616
Summary: Okular turns "(C)" into copyright symbol iin markdown
document
Product: okular
Version: 1.6.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: p...@7gods.org

Test Markdown file showing the reported behaviour
SUMMARY
Okular does show text "(C)" in Markdown document as copyright symbol (which
interferes with technical documentation about assembly instructions of Z80
CPU).
It is not part of original Markdown syntax, but it seems to be introduced by
the "discount" library used for Markdown in Okular, which includes also
"smartypants" substitutions, where the (C) substitute is defined.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached "test_c.md" in Okular
OBSERVED RESULT
The text "OUT (C),B" shows copyright symbol instead of text.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is possible to configure "discount" library to NOT do smartypants
substitutions (command line option "-f nopants" or there is some code define
`MKD_NOPANTS`), but the only option in Okular backend configuration for
Markdown is the font...
So it seems it would be possible to add the smartypant filtering as option in
backend configuration, making it by default ON like it is now (I can easily
admit my issue is somewhat rare... but real).
