Clemens,

Asciidoctor PDF currently only supports decimal character references. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/486

Cheers,

Hello,

I use special characters in some text which are entered as unicode. When I look at the result using the Asciidoctor Firefox Plugin I get the result I want.

When I compile the text using Asciidoctor-pdf I get error messages like:
Failed to parse formatted text: &#x03a3;

In the output I get the unconverted description I have entered, like
 "  &#x03a3; ".
Please not, that this also happens if I enter the character in decimal numbers instead of hexadecimal.

Probably there is something missing to correclty convert the expression. However I'm not able to find what it is.

Thank you for your help.

Please find below an example of the text in want to convert:
Hier werden die Parameter Mittelwert der Messreihe  [overline]#X# , Standardabweichung ( &#120590; ),  Minimale (&#x2913;) und maximale (&#x2912;) Schichtdicke angezeigt.
