Vignette 'docs.Rmd' is non-ASCII but has no declared encoding

[dmenne]

Using the default generated docs.Rmd, I get the following error message on build_vignettes().

"Vignette 'docs.Rmd' is non-ASCII but has no declared encoding"

German Windows 10, everything is UTF by default.

packagedocs_0.4.0

Interesting. Could you take a look at the result of

tools::showNonASCII(readLines("docs.Rmd"))

and let me know what you encounter?

5: copyright: "Dieter Menne, Menne Biomed Consulting T<c3><bc>bingen"

Bingo. This should be "Tübingen".

Great! This file is yours to edit so I presume updating that solves the problem?

[dmenne]

Not really, because I do not want to switch away from UTF, and the text looks fine in my editor. Where does the copyright come from? Are non-ascii characters forbidden in the header?

docs.zip

By default the header information is populated from text parsed from your DESCRIPTION file. Can you try updating the vignette portion of your header to this:

vignette: |
  %\VignetteIndexEntry{gastempt Documentation}
  %\VignetteEngine{packagedocs::redirect}
  %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}

[dmenne]

Works. Probably make it default?
There is no "Tübingen" in the DESCRIPTION file, looks like the package gets the copyright information from Github, e.g. https://github.com/dmenne/gastempt
