Multibyte error under Ruby 1.9.1

#19

I've tracked down a problem with Webby It turns out that it has some non-ascii characters in at least one file; for example the second quote in the regular expression below is not an ASCII character:

parts = self.split( %r/( [:.;?!][ ] | (?:[ ]|^)["“] )/x )

webby-0.9.4/lib/webby/core_ext/string.rb

It produces errors like this:

:in `require': /opt/local/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/webby-0.9.4/lib/webby/core_ext/string.rb:14: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) (SyntaxError)

I fixed it by adding the following to the top of the offending file:

# encoding: utf-8

You might consider adding it to all your files
