   It is particularly appropriate that this item should exhibit a character
encoding problem. I'm sure Martin doesn't have any characters that weird
(square root,  partial differential) in his name. Something is wrong in the
tool chain, but it doesn't look like a simple incorrect charset declaration.
Maybe reST has a problem with non-ASCII characters.
