Hi,

I'm new to trac and I'm trying to migrate a couple of wikis from
MoinMoin to Trac.

I used the http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MoinToTracScript but noticed
that it wouldn't correctly interpret pages with accented characters or
other UTF-8 stuff.

If I knew Python, I guess I could fix it, but the migrated pages
called my attention to a different matter... apparently, within Trac,
accented characters are *not* accepted as part of WikiPageNames, so
that, for instance, PáginaPrincipal would *not* generate a link...

Is there a way to revert this?

Or I'll have to generate my links as [wiki:PáginaDePrueba]? (loosing
the wiki nicety)

TIA

PáginaPrincipal does generate a link in 0.11dev.
In 0.10, you'd have to use [wiki:PáginaPrincipal].

Thanx 4 the info, Christian... I usually try to stick to "-stable"
versions... but 0.11 keeps looking better and better... maybe I'll do
the switch.
