I'm building a CMS which needs to 开发者_开发问答manage content in english, chinese, and spanish at a minimum. Do most markdown implementations handle UTF-8 encoded text? Is the Markdown language designed to be used with non-english languages? I'm currently using Markdown Extra by Michel Fortin.
Markdown is languages neutral so you can use it easily as it does not care about encoding as long as ASCII is a subset of it.
However I would not recommend you using smarty-pants as they designed for English so you may get incorrect quotes in your language.
As Michel Fortin (a french speaking guy), I use his library (the extra one) with special characters like éà without any problem
