snappy: footer-left encoding/umlaut problems

Hi,

I’m trying to add a footer with an umlaut to my document:

$snappy->setOption('footer-left','ÖSTERREICH');

Unfortunately the Ö isn’t there… I’ve tried various combinations of the following:

$snappy->setOption('footer-left',utf8_encode('ÖSTERREICH')); $snappy->setOption('footer-left',utf8_decode('ÖSTERREICH'));

Even trying to add the Ö via the correspondig utf8 escaped character. It works fine on Windows but not on my Linux server Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64. The php file containing the code is encoded in utf8, I’ve added the encoding option to snappy, the header charset (utf8) and even the meta charset in the html files. I’m really out of ideas!

Thanks!

Well, it looks like it’s in the docs:

  Headers and footers can be added to the document by the --header-* and
  --footer* arguments respectfully.  In header and footer text string supplied
  to e.g. --header-left, the following variables will be substituted.

   * [page]       Replaced by the number of the pages currently being printed
   * [frompage]   Replaced by the number of the first page to be printed
   * [topage]     Replaced by the number of the last page to be printed
   * [webpage]    Replaced by the URL of the page being printed
   * [section]    Replaced by the name of the current section
   * [subsection] Replaced by the name of the current subsection
   * [date]       Replaced by the current date in system local format
   * [isodate]    Replaced by the current date in ISO 8601 extended format
   * [time]       Replaced by the current time in system local format
   * [title]      Replaced by the title of the of the current page object
   * [doctitle]   Replaced by the title of the output document
   * [sitepage]   Replaced by the number of the page in the current site being converted
   * [sitepages]  Replaced by the number of pages in the current site being converted
  
  
  As an example specifying --header-right "Page [page] of [toPage]", will result
  in the text "Page x of y" where x is the number of the current page and y is
  the number of the last page, to appear in the upper left corner in the
  document.

  Headers and footers can also be supplied with HTML documents. As an example
  one could specify --header-html header.html, and use the following content in
  header.html:

  <html><head><script>
  function subst() {
      var vars = {};
      var query_strings_from_url = document.location.search.substring(1).split('&');
      for (var query_string in query_strings_from_url) {
          if (query_strings_from_url.hasOwnProperty(query_string)) {
              var temp_var = query_strings_from_url[query_string].split('=', 2);
              vars[temp_var[0]] = decodeURI(temp_var[1]);
          }
      }
      var css_selector_classes = ['page', 'frompage', 'topage', 'webpage', 'section', 'subsection', 'date', 'isodate', 'time', 'title', 'doctitle', 'sitepage', 'sitepages'];
      for (var css_class in css_selector_classes) {
          if (css_selector_classes.hasOwnProperty(css_class)) {
              var element = document.getElementsByClassName(css_selector_classes[css_class]);
              for (var j = 0; j < element.length; ++j) {
                  element[j].textContent = vars[css_selector_classes[css_class]];
              }
          }
      }
  }
  </script></head><body style="border:0; margin: 0;" onload="subst()">
  <table style="border-bottom: 1px solid black; width: 100%">
    <tr>
      <td class="section"></td>
      <td style="text-align:right">
        Page <span class="page"></span> of <span class="topage"></span>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  </body></html>
