Error converting to pdf caused by croatian-specific letter in a section title (ž)

[greguric]

Hi, I encountered a problem while trying to export asciidoc formated txt file to pdf. The problem is caused when I use a letter "ž" in a section title. The error I get is:

a2x: ERROR: "dblatex" -t pdf -p "/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl" -s "/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.sty" "/home/marko/Brackets/ibes_2016_peteh_greguric.xml" returned non-zero exit status 1

Is it a bug or am I just missing something? The thing is that the same letter doesn't make any problem anywhere else in the text.

Try a2x -v to see if dblatex gives a more useful error message.

Sorry for me not responding for 3 days. I did as you suggested and here's what I got:

It only happens if I put the word that contains a letter "ž" e.g. "sažetak" and mark it as level 1 heading. So if I put it like this: = Sažetak = than it turns out ok.

But if I put the same word like this: == Sažetak ==

I get error.

Thanks for the time and any advice :) Marko

This appears to be a problem inside dblatex, not Asciidoc. Try to make the smallest file where the problem occurs, then save the docbook by adding the -k option to a2x to keep the docbook (.xml) file and report to dblatex with the .xml docbook file.

Tnx! Will do that!
