Re: Converting German Umlauts to LaTeX

[Wilfred Zegwaard (privé)]

In LaTeX it is usual that you use the TeX side of it.

So it is not: ä, but \"a.

If you don't like that you can load additional codepackages where you 
can use ä. But if you use XeTeX or to Germany adapted LaTeX 
distributions (with EMacs), these problems are solved.

Check out the TeXlive distibution. There is documentation about using 
TeXLive with EMacs and German there. There is sufficient documentation 
about using german codepages with LaTeX at the German TeX users group. A 
list of codepages for EMacs / LaTeX can be found in several distributions.

Hope this helps,

Wilfred

It is advocated world-wide to use the usual TeX standards. So the usual 
EMacs codepage should be all-right.
