Doing it manually is indeed a (laborious) workaround.
The problem with just dropping accented characters is that the
resulting id then may not be unique.
Yep, same issue when you manually create the id :/
I don't know if it would be possible to have an option in asciidoc conversion
like --no-accents-in-ids ? I guess the xhtml output removes the accents also,
as it is so bad looking in a web browser ?
Now that the 'ascii-ids' attribute has been added, we shouldn't stop
trying to get the tools to support accented characters.
I would hate to see this workaround block any progress in the tools. So,
please, Fabrice, do report and track those issues in the tools you use
as a courtesy to AsciiDoc ;-)
