Does not render accentuated characters properly about markdown-viewer HOT 6 CLOSED

It's because of the default encoding of your browser. Since .md files are text files, their encoding is not provided, so the browser opens it with its default encoding (probably ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252 in your case). It's a bit tricky to fix (I thought just adding a <meta charset="utf-8" /> would work but I was wrong) but I'll give it a try.
For now, you can change the default encoding of Firefox to UTF-8, it'll work.

Your tip works, but I need to set the option (View/Character encoding/Unicode) each time I refresh the file viewing. Is there a way to setup unicode for text/plain file in Firefox ?

I think there's a way to dynamically change the encoding using XPCOM, I'll try this asap.

I do have this problem too. It would be nice to be able to set the default when when opening a file.

Fixed with PR #24
