+HTML::Template does not read files as utf-8, so modifying ikiwiki's
+template files to contain utf-8 won't currently work.
+
+It seems that the best way to fix this would be to make HTML::Template
+support utf-8.
+
+A workaround is to change all the template reading code like this:
+
+ - my $template=HTML::Template->new(blind_cache => 1,
+ - filename => "$config{templatedir}/page.tmpl");
+ + open(TMPL, "<:utf8", "$config{templatedir}/page.tmpl");
+ + my $template=HTML::Template->new(filehandle => *TMPL);
+ + close(TMPL);
+
+However, this will make ikiwiki slower when rebuilding a wiki, since it
+won't cache templates.
