And one more comment. According to <https://asciidoctor.org/>: <SNIP> If you’re using a non-English Windows environment, you may bump into an Encoding::UndefinedConversionError when invoking Asciidoctor. To solve this issue, we recommend overriding the default external and internal character encodings to utf-8. You can do so by setting the RUBYOPT environment variable as follows: RUBYOPT="-E utf-8:utf-8" Once you make this change, all your Unicode headaches should be behind you. If you’re using an IDE like Eclipse, make sure you set the encoding to UTF-8 there as well. Asciidoctor is optimized to work with UTF-8 as the default encoding. </SNIP> Jeff
