Important: to use unicode values, you must setup a correct coding line in the first line of your configuration file. Check that your editor is configured correctly.
Certain options must use unicode values. For example, the site name could contain German umlauts or French accents or be in Chinese or Hebrew. Because of this, you must use unicode strings for those items. Unicode strings are defined by prefixing the letter u to the string. Here are some examples:
# Site name, used by default for wiki name-logo [Unicode] sitename = u"Jürgen's Wiki" # another example: sitename = u'ÔÕÕÙçÙ éÜ ÙÕèÒß'
Read the comments in the configuration file - they tell you which options must use Unicode values.
Notes:
You can't mix different encodings in the same file. If your coding line says iso-8859-1, all your characters, the whole file content, must be in that encoding.
- If you use utf-8 encoding (or plain ascii), you don't have to use unicode strings, moin will decode your string correctly for you. New in 1.3.2.
