KISS - no Unicode in filenames.
(I know that this is very English-speaking-centric, but there isn't really a strong need?)
I was assuming that given the file name, the file is auto-generated, in which case it is the tool that needs fixing to make sure names are always ASCII.
What happened is that I grabbed the file, Appendix A to the Boost MPL book as an html page, which used to be hosted at Boostpro, from the wayback machine Internet archive. Then I massaged it a bit to remove all the wayback machine cruft, but I think it had the Unicode in it once I had grabbed it.
After that I copied the title from that page to links in two other preprocessor pages, thus
propagating
the Unicode. The GUI HTML editor I was using never flagged the Unicode as anything unusual so I really didn't see it.
I have applied Tom Kent's the PR to 'develop' and will no doubt merge it to 'master' fairly shortly.
The preprocessor docs were all written by Paul directly as HTML and it would be too much work at this point to change it to quickbook, although I love the latter.
I've looked at this and I don't think it would take that much time for me to convert to Quickbook - but I'm not sure of the benefit apart from having a familiar look'n'feel - unless we wanted to change things significantly. It looks good and very comprehensive. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
