Cannot render table using kramdown when having Unicode characters in document

I have a very weird problem with rendering table in Marked when using kramdown as custom processor.

Basically, Marked renders a document contains only the table as below:

and Marked renders the same document but contains both the table and some unicode text with characters like (ề, ả..) as follow:

Here is the raw text:

{:.table .table-bordered .table-striped}
|---
| # | Keys Combination | Value | Action | Meaning
|-|-|-|-|-
| 1  | Command + \] | ⌘ \] | Next Pane | Go To Next Panel|
| 2  | Command + \[ | ⌘ \[ | Previous Pane | Go To Previous Panel |
| 3  | Shift + Command + \] | ⇧ ⌘ \] | Next Tab | Go To Next Tab |
| 4  | Shift + Command + \[ | ⇧ ⌘ \[ | Previous Tab | Go To Previous Tab |
| 5  | Command + ← | ⌘ ← | Send ^\[ B  [^2] | Back 1 word |
| 6  | Command + → | ⌘ → | Send ^\[ F  [^3] | Next 1 word |
| 7  | Shift + Command + → | ⇧ ⌘ → | Send ^[ [F [^4] | End |
| 8  | Shift + Command + ← | ⇧ ⌘ ← | Send ^[ [H [^5] | Home |
| 9  | Shift + Delete | ⇧ Del  | Send ^[ D   [^6] | Forward Delete |
| 10 | Command + Z | ⌘ Z | Send Hexcode 0x17 [^7]| Delete Last Word |
| 11 | Shift + Command + Z | ⇧ ⌘ Z   | Send Hexcode 0x15 [^8]| Clear Command |

I'm using Marked 2 on Lion 10.8.5 at the moment and here is the Marked's Preferences:

Also, I'm pretty sure the problem is not footnotes inside table.

Thanks!

   I tested with your settings (and other combinations), with and without definitions for the footnotes and ALWAYS got:

   

   This is with the Kramdown binary version 1.0.2. If you copy the table to your clipboard and run pbpaste|kramdown, does it work fine for you? Note that your RVM instance isn't loading, it's running whatever is installed for the system Ruby. That means that if you haven't installed the gem for system sudo gem install, it may not actually be running Kramdown at all.

   Hi Brett

   Thank you for the quick reply.

   I've tried to copy the raw text into the clipboard and run it with kramdown in the command line and looks like it works fine. Here is the result:

   <table class="table table-bordered table-striped">  
     <thead>
       <tr>
         <th>#</th>
         <th>Keys Combination</th>
         <th>Value</th>

         <th>Meaning</th>
       </tr>

   If this means kramdown is running properly, then what would be the problem?

   Also, FYI

   $ which kramdown
   => /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/kramdown
   
   $ kramdown --version
   => 1.2.0
   

   So looks like I'm using a different version of Kramdown, will that be something to look at as well?

   Note that your RVM instance isn't loading, it's running whatever is installed for the system Ruby. That means that if you haven't installed the gem for system sudo gem install, it may not actually be running Kramdown at all.

   Could you please explain the above part a bit more in detailed, I'm fairly new to ruby and having a hard time with using rvm, I have a bunch of different ruby versions installed all over my system and it's hard to tell which one is being used by what program...

   Thanks! I appreciate your help!

   Run:

   rvm use system
   sudo gem install kramdown

   Then make sure you have a binary at /usr/local/bin/kramdown and set your custom processor to that.

   Let me know if it helps.

   Hi Brett

   After running

   $ rvm use system 
   $ sudo gem install kramdown
   

   I don't see any kramdown binary in /usr/local/bin/

   When I run

   $ which kramdown
   

   I still get /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/kramdown instead. Should I make /usr/local/bin/kramdown a symlink to this binary?

   Thanks!

   Hi Brett

   Just double checked and looks like kramdown was already installed before that, but in

   /usr/bin/
   

   However, it wasn't executable though, so I had to run

   chmod u+x /usr/bin/kramdown
   

   then use /usr/bin/kramdown as the binary path for the custom processor and now everything is working as expected.

   This also solved my original problem, too! :)
   Thanks for looking in to this!

   Cheers!
