[Docutils-users] Docutils raises UnicodeError

[Morten W. P. <mo...@ni...>]

Hi!

I'm using the docutils package in the IssueManager[1] product, and this
error is raised on some types of texts:

Error Type: UnicodeError
Error Value: Latin-1 encoding error: ordinal not in range(256)

The text was cut-and-pasted from a Word document into a HTML textarea
and saved.  What can I do to fix this?
