Question regarding the encoding in planet

[Baz]

The answer to that question is in the documentation. From INSTALL:
"Edit the config.ini file in this directory to taste, it's pretty
well documented so you shouldn't have any problems here."

>From examples/basic/config.ini:
# The following provide defaults for each template:
[...]
# encoding: output encoding for the file, Python 2.3+ users can use the
#           special "xml" value to output ASCII with XML character references
# locale: locale to use for (e.g.) strings in dates, default is taken from your
#         system

...which suggests that
encoding = iso-8859-15
might well work. Although to be honest I still think you'd be better
converting your imported bits into utf-8.
