Section 45.9 Text and Markdown Options
These options apply to the plain text conversion, and to the markdown conversion built on top of it. See Chapter 36 for an overview of both.
Subsection 45.9.1 Character Repertoire
The
/publication/text/@characters
attribute elects the character repertoire. The value
unicode (the default) uses genuine Unicode characters, such as curly quotation marks and em-dashes; the value ascii restricts output to 7-bit ASCII, using traditional plain-text stand-ins instead. See Section 36.3 for more.
