Good evening,
I have converted ODT to HTML using LibreOffice Writer, because I want
to convert from HTML to Creole using python-creole. Unfortunately I
get this error: "File "Convert to Creole.py", line 17
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file Convert to Creole.py
on line 18, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details".
Unfortunately I can't post my document yet (it's a research paper I'm
working on), but I'm sure you'll get the same result if you write up a
document in LibreOffice Writer and add some End Notes.
How do I automate the removal of all non-ascii characters from my code?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor
This question does not quite make sense. The error message is
complaining about a python file. What does that file have to do with
ODT to HTML conversion and LibreOffice?
The error message means the python file (wherever it came from) has a
non-ascii character (as you noted), and so it needs something to tell it
what such a character means. (That what the encoding is.)
A comment like this in line 1 or 2 will specify an encoding:
# -*- coding: <encoding name> -*-
but, we'll have to know more about the file "Convert to Creole.py" to
guess what encoding name should be specified there.
You might try utf-8 or latin-1.
