Non-ASCII characters in AndurilScript

[marko.k...@gmail.com]

How can I enter special (=non ASCII) Unicode characters in AndurilScript without loosing the ASCII compatibility of the source file? I know that we have some escapes for characters such as new line and tab but is there something equivalent to Java/Scala \uDDDD?

Some very ugly workarounds:

1. Write your strings to a separate file, which is then included. The main source is still plain ASCII.
2. Import your values as environment variables. Works for some constants, which can be provided externally.

It depends how the special characters are supposed to be rendered.  For instance, with the pandoc HTML generator, i'm using HTML unicode syntax (which of course works for XML too)

Latex then has it's own syntax for marking specials.. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Plain_TeX#char   \char65  etc..

Someone wiser may answer about the script language parsing itself.

I can recognize that here for example, the script runs, but the contents of the output is not correct

c=StringInput(content="λ")

$ cat c/in
λ

What I would like to do is:

authors = "Åke,Günter" \\ this should read "\u00C5ke,G\u00FCnter"
latexComponent = Lfoo(param1=std.quote(authors, type='LaTeX'))
htmlComponent = Hbar(param1=std.quote(authors, type='HTML'))
