[Koha] Help with documentation errors

[Nicole Engard]

Hello all,

I noticed that the 3.8 manual wasn't updating using the cron job we run
nightly and so Larry found the following errors (note that it's not just
the 3.8 English manual):

3.10, French:

So, it looks like the 3.10 French, 3.8 English, and 3.6 French manuals are
not updating. However, the 3.6 English one should be.

My question is, how do encoding errors like the ones on the English manual
happen? I looked at that line in the code and see nothing, I even deleted
that line and still can't save the file because it tells me that there are
encoding errors in the file.  Any help would be greatly appreciated so that
I can get the 3.8 manual back on track.

PS. If you know how to fix it you're free to submit a patch of course!!
