I am currently using csvsimple
to include some external data in a document processed with pdfLaTeX. The entire project uses UTF-8 as encoding. The original data is maintained in an Excel 2010 file, and since Excel does not support exporting to UTF-8 CSV directly, I have to go through a rather cumbersome process:
- export to CSV
- open with Notepad
- save from notepad, changing the encoding
This process adds a BOM to the CSV file - 0xef 0xbb 0xbf
. On my Windows desktop, this does not seem to be a problem, but the CI build on a Linux box breaks down with Missing \endcsname inserted.
. Is there a way to tell csvsimple
to ignore the BOM or do I have to edit it out before the compilation starts?
