Greek Unicode with markdown
I am using Calibre 5.37.
I have a markdown document which is a mix of English and Greek in unicode. If I add it to Calibre and then view it with the book viewer the Greek letters show as diamonds. If I try to convert it needless to say the epub shows diamonds too. If I take the markdown document and paste it into a Libreoffice document save it and if I add it to Calibre and convert it to epub both the English and Greek show fine. Is there a way to import the markdown directly? Rather than having to convert it to odt first? Thanks. |

calibre has no issues with unicode in markdown. Make sure the mardown file is encoded as UTF-8 and select UTF-8 as the input encoding in the conversion dialog.

I found out some more information. If the file has an md extension the unicode text is not read correctly. If I rename the file with a txt extension the unicode is read correctly.
I assume I don't have some setting correct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

I reread the documentation. Calibre does support markdown but does not support markdown file extensions. You need to rename the file to have a txt extension before adding it to Calibre.
