the way you suggest is the out of date way. The way MMD currently
uses is the correct/current way, as I understand it.</p></div>fletchertag:support.fletcherpenney.net,2013-02-12:Comment/419750482017-02-18T18:55:05Z2017-02-18T18:55:06ZThe <meta charset="utf-8"/> tag chokes EPUB validators<div><p>Sounds right, but the EPUB spec hasn't caught up yet. Is it
possible to<br>
have a switch to change the output? I'll take a swing at coding it
myself<br>
if you want.</p></div>Larry Kollartag:support.fletcherpenney.net,2013-02-12:Comment/419750482017-02-18T19:09:49Z2017-02-18T19:09:49ZThe <meta charset="utf-8"/> tag chokes EPUB validators<div><p>I would recommend this:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Modifying MMD-5 for the change would be easy -- just change
the<br>
current string to the string you desire.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>I am going to revisit EPUB more generally in MMD-6. Depending
on<br>
what I can find in regards to zip libraries, etc., I <em>might</em>
build it in<br>
to MMD itself. The current approach relies on external tools
(e.g.<br>
