The problem I think is that the length meant here is the number of bytes
in markup_text. Calling len on the codepoints will return the number of
characters which, in this example, is one less as é is two bytes. With
len(markup_text.encode("UTF-8")) or -1 it works for me.

As for the docs, the docs maintainers is active here so I'll leave it to
him to comment on adding the column to the docs.
