node.js - How to escape special characters from a markdown string? -

-

i have markdown file (utf8) turning html file. current setup pretty straight forward (pseudo code):

var file = read(site.postlocation + '/in.md', 'utf8'); var escaped = marked( file ); write('out.html', escaped);

this works great, i've run issue there special characters in markdown file (such é) messed when viewed in browser (é).

i've found couple of npm modules can convert html entities, convert convertable characters. including required markdown syntax (for example '#' becomes '#' , '.' becomes '.' , markdown parser fail.

i've tried libs entities , node-iconv.

i imagine being pretty standerd problem. how can replace strange letter characters without markdown required symbols?

as pointed out hilarudeens forgot include meta charset html tag.

<meta charset="utf-8" />

if come across similar issues, suggest check first.

routes - Laravel 4 Wildcard Routing to Different Controllers -

-
realizing i'm going take beating this, have several questions "best practices" when constructing laravel route. do laravel routes run "first come first serve" top bottom? if route found, pass control controller (or perform action) , terminate? i have part of application acts url shortner. so, route looks this: route::get('/{id}', array('as' => 'home.text', 'uses' => 'homecontroller@text'), function($id){ //make sure id exists before pushing controller. if (storage::where('shortcode','=', $id)->count() > 0) { // route found } }); how can improved? one, i'm not sure how pass processing on controller conditionally.. sort of controller::make() ..? 3) there better way in laravel check if record exists versus doing mode::where('column','=','value')->count() 4) have legacy urls http://url.com/?...
