[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#328690: generated manpage has no quoted umlauts

[Erik Schanze]

Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.18-5

Hi!

Im not sure if your package is the right place for this report or 
"docbook-xsl" is better.

If I generate a manpage from a german xml file with umlauts (ÄÜÖäüöß) 
by:
xmlto man file.xml

it will generate a man page included these umlauts without escaping it, 
as "man groff_char" says.

ä -> \[:a]
ö -> \[:o]
ü -> \[:u]
Ä -> \[:A]
Ö -> \[:O]
Ü -> \[:U]
ß -> \[ss]

Other languages wih special characters are also affected.


Kindly regards,
Erik
