Hi Simon
Good suggestion, I've applied a patch to the trunk:

Cheers, Stuart

Hi list!
Here's a description of a method for a slightly better workaround:
http://www.peterbe.com/plog/unicode-to-ascii
This way, accented letters such as å, ö, ï will become a, o, i, making
the
ids a bit more recognizable for some languages. Characters such as
¿ and œ will
still get deleted, though.
Happy New Year!

So for the present, as tools used to convert docbook to pdf are not
supporting accents in ids, there is this workaround to use accents in
titles: manually redefine each title id by declaring it before the
title:
for example:
[[this-is-an-id-for-my-title-without-accents]]
=== now i cï¿œn have a tï¿œtle with accï¿œnts
A more pragmatic/automated approach could be to automatically remove
accents
in generated ids. (But i don't know how to achieve this)
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 ;-)
