Running Kubuntu 18.04. markdown (provided by discount 2.2.3).

With a file with only roman characters, markdown test.md -o test.html does as expected; produces a test.html file with content as expected.

If test.md contains any devanagari characters, the same command just writes to stdout but does not produce any output file! FWIW, what it writes to stdout is what it should produce in the output file.

What is happening here? How do I set things right?

    Probably a bug, maybe try one of the other markdown parsers, or `pandoc`. – muru Aug 23 '18 at 06:15

    Sounds like a bug with `markdown test.md >test.html` being a workaround. – dessert Aug 23 '18 at 06:24
  • @muru Yes. `pandoc` works flawlessly. :) – deshmukh Aug 23 '18 at 07:24
  • @dessert Yes. `markdown test.md >test.html` works flawlessly. This does not help me, however. As I was using emacs to export the markdown documents. – deshmukh Aug 23 '18 at 07:25
  • Sorry, this is not the place for bug reports, I suggest you file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/discount and https://github.com/Orc/discount instead. – dessert Aug 23 '18 at 08:11
