Encoding when converting to docbook

[hcf-n]

When i convert documents with characters like é, ä, ü, and several others, to docbook with make4ht i get the following errors.

[STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: test.tex
[ERROR]   htlatex: Compilation errors in the htlatex run
[ERROR]   htlatex: Filename	Line	Message
[ERROR]   htlatex: ./test.tex 	4	 Undefined control sequence.
[ERROR]   htlatex: ./test.tex 	4	 Undefined control sequence.

This has not been a problem before, but after i updated today with Tex Live Utility I got the errors. I havn't updated for quite a while.

I see. This seems to be caused by this change. It didn't cause problems for other output formats, so it went unnoticed. Try this configuration file, which provides the original Unicode configuration for accents:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\catcode`\:=11
      \Configure{accents}
        {\ifmmode \expandafter\mathord\fi
         {\leavevmode
\if !#1!\ht:special{t4ht@+&\#x#2;}%
\else \expandafter \ifx\csname U#2#1\endcsname\relax
    \ht:special{t4ht@+&{35}x#2;}%
\else
    \ht:special{t4ht@+&{35}x\csname U#2#1\endcsname;}%
\fi \fi x%
%
         \ht:special{t4ht@[}x\ht:special{t4ht@]}}}
        {\ifmmode \expandafter\mathord\fi
          {#3}}
\catcode`\:=12
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
