[Doc-SIG] German Umlauts

[Christian Tismer]

Hi!

I've started using reStructuredText for my Wiki pages,
and I like RST quite much.

Where I have problems are so-called "Umlauts".
I know this is kinda Unicode issue, but I'd just
like to know if and how this is handled in RST?

The simple HTML way of ü doesn't work (why?).

Is something planned here? (I'd be happy to help)
Or is it at leat possible do define a default encoding?

thanks a lot for any pointer -- chris
