I was referred to you by Uwe Lueck who suggested that you might be able
to answer the following random question:
Do you have any idea how to typeset a hooked-e in LaTeX (I attach a
sample)?
I can do this with font encoding T4, but this encoding causes all sorts of
unforeseen problems. I was wondering if you know of a simpler way to do this.
<br><br>I have run into this problem where I tried to use the "ogonek" in a macro with several levels of grouping. The solution---if you have a font in which the character exists as a fully formed composite is, if you are already using a font in which the character exists, is to \def\ehook{\char<whatever>} and use {\ehook} (don't forget the braces) where you need it. (The simple definition will work inside many levels of braces, where complicat<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">ed accentuation macros will not.) If your working font does not have the composite character, you will have to invoke one that<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> does in the macro sugg<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">est<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">ed above.<br><br><br>Pierre MacKay</span></span></span></span><br>Humanist Typesetting and Graphics<br>www.angiolello.net<br><br></div></body></html>
