HTML to Markdown: Unsupported charset WINDOWS-1251

[jsx97]

Pandoc 3.3

I try to convert the translation of the Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" (from the webpage of the guy who translated it) from HTML to Markdown.

pandoc -f html -t markdown -o output.md https://www.gaisever.net/miscellanea/three_men_in_a_boat.html

When I do so, there is an error:

Unsupported charset WINDOWS-1251

Is there a way to workaround it?

First use iconv to convert the file to UTF-8.

iconv -f=WINDOWS-1252 -t=UTF-8

iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t UTF-8 works for me, thanks.
