OK, looks like my web browser does render non-ascii characters output by
R when it's given the encoding explicitly. This works for me:<meta

that's another solution, but not a general one.
I don't understand your final comment. What is not general about
declaring how the file is encoded?

All,
I'd like to automatically output text from R to HTML. In doing this I've
run into trouble with non-ascii characters, as my browser (and
presumably others) does not render such characters correctly. For
example, the 'fancy' single quotes associated with summary.lm are
multi-byte characters on my platform. This particular problem is solved
by options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE). But now I'm concerned about other
non-ascii characters. As an overkill maybe, my current solution involves
capture.output and iconv(..., to="ASCII//TRANSLIT"). Are there other
sources of non-ascii character? Is there a better or general solution?
Best,
Matt
