Looking at src/pandoc.hs, we have: | htmlFormat && ascii -> writerFn outputFile =<< selfcontain (toEntities result)
So it tries to do the right thing in that situation. result contains the standalone html string and toEntities substitutes entities for non-ascii characters. The problem is selfcontain once again parses the html string, so the entities get resolved to characters once more, and then this is written out. I flipped it around so that we have: | htmlFormat && ascii -> do result' <- selfcontain result writerFn outputFile =<< return (toEntities result') which seems to fix the issue. I'll report this upstream and see if we can get it fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024754 Title: pandoc --ascii and --self-contained conflict To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pandoc/+bug/1024754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
