Hello !

Since a month I have had a problem with pandoc. It's a quite regular problem, I have seen, but I haven't found my solution.

I want to convert a tex file in docx (or odt) :

pandoc -s input.tex -o ouput.docx

But I recept this message :

pandoc: Cannot decode byte '\xe9': Data.Text.Internal.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream

After many research, I've found that \xe9 is the latin small letter e with acute (é or è ?).

This command from the pandoc documentation :

iconv -t utf-8 input.tex | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8

doesn't work :

iconv: séquence d'échappement non permise à la position 401

<p>\begin{document}</p>

As I can't not use this character, would you have a solution, please ?

Thank you !
