[Docutils-users] How do I consturct an umlaut?

[Tony V. <Ton...@mc...>]

I am using reST to produce html with html.py. One of the author names I need to produce is 
Muller with an u-umlaut(i.e. in html: Müller). I assume I can use some sort of 
substitution but I seem to have missed it in the documentation. How do I do it in ReST?

You don't need to use substitutions or entities for accented
characters.  Just tell Docutils the encoding of the input file (and
the desired encoding of the output; default UTF-8).  Use the
"--input-encoding" command-line option, or set it up permanently in a
configuration file.  See <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/tools.html> for
details.
