prevent non-ascii chars conversion to html entities

[adipasquale]

Hello! Thanks for a super convenient tool

I'm wondering if we could add an option to preserve non-ascii characters as-is. Currently, the tool transforms them to HTML entities. For example é becomes é. I would rather have it stay as é.

I tried looking into the source code on how to implement this change but I am a bit lost. I looked at the functions about html entities but they are about decoding rather than encoding. I also tried bypassing the CGI.escapeHTML to no avail. Would you have a direction to point me in?

Thank you!

I currently have a super hacky bash script to help me with this:

# scripts/html2haml.sh
ls $1 | sed 'p;s/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs -n2 bundle exec html2haml --ruby19-attributes -E utf-8:utf-8
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/é/é/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/è/è/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/ /\ /g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/«/«/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/»/»/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/à/à/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/’/ʼ/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/fi/fi/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/œ/œ/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/î/î/g'
ls $1 | sed 's/.erb$/.haml/' | xargs sed -i '' 's/\À/À/g'

(please don't judge my absolute lack of shell scripting skills)
