[Docutils-users] publish_string, inline XHTML and international characters & settings

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

Hi!

I'm trying to use the docutils package to format STX text as XHTML, and
there's two issues.  

First, the text contains special characters, like æ, ø and å; this
isn't rendered correctly, as the "a være" turns into "Ã¥ være".  I've
figured that one needs to pass a settings objects to the publish_string
method with input_encoding set, but I can't figure out how to create
a settings object.  How is that done?

Second, the published XHTML is a valid document, I only want the body
of the XHTML returned, how can I do this?

Thank you,

Morten W. Petersen
