Description Jonas Bähr 2004-08-13 12:42:09 UTC 
Version:           3.1.0_rc2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7) 
OS:                Linux

If I create a new project (in this case a kicker-applet) there seems to be an encoding-problem. My Name is Jonas Bähr (with a german umlaut) and when I try to build the documentation (without modiving the generated file) I get the error-message then in index.docbook in line 53 (the line where my name stands) the encoding is no propper UTF-8.
A simple Save-As with encoding=utf-8 (overwriting the generated file) solves the problem.

It's even worse as i just found out. I'll have a look at this issue.
Comment 2 Gábor Lehel 2005-07-23 16:44:46 UTC 
I had this problem too, it said:

/opt/kde/dest/bin/meinproc --check --cache index.cache.bz2 ./index.docbook
index.docbook:53: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xE1 0x62 0x6F 0x72
<surname>Gábor Lehel</surname>
          ^
make[3]: *** [index.cache.bz2] Error 1

After a bit of googling, I found the solution to be changing the first line of index.docbook from
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
(assuming the encoding is actually utf8)

shouldn't this be made the default?

This bug is invalid because the wrong thing here is docbook. Any xml file without an encoding information has to be encoded in utf-8. According to my hexeditor and the existing comments the index.docbook is utf-8 encoded.
