Since I've upgraded to pandoc 1.16 I have an issue with HTML characters. For example, &euml should become ë but instead pandoc decides to interpret it, and make it ë (&$euml;).

Example:

C:\Users\test>cat test.txt
This is a ë test
C:\Users\test>pandoc test.txt
<p>This is a &amp;euml; test</p>

From previous pandoc versions I would have expected the output to have been:

<p>This is a &euml; test</p>

I'm using pandoc 1.16.0.2, built by cabal.

Edit: when I'm using the Windows installed pandoc (also 1.16.0.2), pandoc behaves as expected!

Edit2: The difference between my Windows intalled pandoc ("good") and the cabal version ("bad"), as indicated by a diff of the version output is that the Windows installed version uses texmath 0.8.4.1, where the version compiled by Cabal uses texmath 0.8.4.2

On a Mac here, pandoc 1.16.0.2. I get an ë for this:

This is a ë test.

EDIT: this was on the command line.

Great, that fixed it! Thanks for the quick reply and for all the work on Pandoc in general!
