googleVis + slidify encoding issue

[ghost]

Could you please help me with the following issue?
http://gd047.github.io/project_cost_escalation/#6

As you will see, the greek characters appear correctly in Select Variables area of the motion chart, while they do not for the Color and y-axis indicators.

Here is my repo

Please update to the latest versions of slidify and slidifyLibraries. Encoding issues were fixed recently, thanks to @kohske.

[ghost]

I did the installation again (using ref = "dev"), deleted the libraries folder, run "runDeck" and pushed to github, but unfortunately the result remains the same.

[kohske]

@gd047 perhaps you need to install fix-encode branch.

#329 (comment)

[ghost]

After installing fix-encode, greek characters disappeared completely from the plot :-(

[kohske]

Your repo is too big and requires some additional installation. If you will provide a minimum reproducible example, I'll test it.

[ghost]

On the fix-encode link the slidify command was given like this
slidify('index-UTF8.Rmd', encoding='UTF8')
Do I have to do the same with runDeck() ?
@kohske I will post a link to another test repo in a few hours. Thank you.

[ghost]

@kohske This is another test repo. I am also posting the output of sessionInfo() again, because I had to rollback markdown to version markdown_0.6.3, due to some encoding issues.

The generated .md file is not properly UTF-8 encoded. I just got the following email from github:

The page build failed with the following error:

@gd047 This works on OS X and I'll test it on Windows tomorrow.

@kohske I have similar problem with spanish character.
I think the problem is in the html file because I have the 2 versions of html and the same libraries and one is working well and the another, not.
I'm using the new version of RStudio and this is my session info

[arturochian]

PD: in my case I'm not using googleVis.

This is the bad html http://prntscr.com/3ueitp
This is the good html http://prntscr.com/3uej5z

I create a repo for testing for spanish character. I think the problem is just in index.html for that reason I create a repo.with these 2 html.
https://github.com/arturochian/slidifyexamples1
I'm going to create a reproducible example in one hour. I'm using encoding="WINDOWS-1252" because it works for me (spanish) when I worked slidify manually (I had to change the header.html in the "partial" folder).

Is there a way for view easily the difference between these html?

Thank in advance

@kohske Could you please tell me the command you used to puplish in rpubs, because what I have tried was not successful.

[kohske]

Just

slidify("index.Rmd", encoding = "UTF8")

[ghost]

Thanks, I did it on github http://gd047.github.io/gvis_test/#3
I was asking for the rpubs publishing command. Could you help me?

[kohske]

There is publish_rpub() in slidify, but I failed upload from Win7, so I did upload from OS X.

[ghost]

Thank you. This question remains open.

It's minor but, is there a way to set encoding = "UTF8" when using the runDeck() command to view the presentation locally? I still have problem with that.

Hopefully I will remember to install the fix-encode branch, after slidify in the future. :-/
