Something isn't handling encoding correctly

[ilyvion]

Running cargo about generate about.hbs > license.html on my project, which has a dependency on is_ci 1.1.1 generates the following output in the HTML:

                <pre class="license-text">The ISC License

the problem (in case it's not obvious) is that this says Marchán, while the original says Marchán:

(I've gone and checked that the file (presumably) used as input (i.e. ~/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/is_ci-1.1.1/LICENSE does indeed have Marchán as such when read as UTF-8.

Device:

• OS: Windows 10
• Version 0.5.1

Ah yeah, there does seem to be an issue with Powershell and encoding. That's not great. I guess that's the problem then. I was aware that it saved as UTF-16LE, but not that it also mangled the input UTF-8 in the process. It's weird how it can display the output from the program just fine, but if you try to redirect it, well, time to mangle!

Ahh ok, that's indeed unfortunate. I would accept a PR that adds either a check for if the terminal is powershell and raise an error if stdout is being redirected and point the user to the -o flag, or at least a warning in the documention or Cli help
