hello,
i guess there's a simple way to do this, but i couldn't figure it out,
so i have to ask here:
i want to write german umlauts in files that are exported to html. i
know that you can write for example \auml, but when i'm using this in a
word (e.g. l\aumlstig) this fails. if i put a space behind \auml i get
the umlaut, but obviously i don't want the space there...
so how is this supposed to be done?
thanks for any help,
michael

Use an empty set of braces to mark the end of the special character:
l\auml{}stig

Put {} after the \auml if it's embbed in a word - like this:

Why don't you just write the umlauts directly: ü
Either use the facilities of your OS, or use one of the German input
methods of Emacs. For the latter, see the docs for "C-\". For the
former, it all depends on your OS and your keyboard.
Cheers

Exactly. We're in the third millennium of the calendar, folks; we have
Unicode. The way to get a character into a text document is to put it in
literally.
