Hi Ralf,<div><br></div><div>As you are under Windows — this solution will work in most editors set up for windows including TeXworks. See <a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html</a> for other informaton as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You need to makes sure that if you have changed your editor font that it supports extended characters - which would be obvious if this does not work :)</div><div><br></div><div>Also generally you'll need to keep the utf-8 setting at the top of your LaTeX document, </div>
<div><br></div><div>% !TEX TS-program = pdflatex</div><div>% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode</div><div><br></div><div>And be sure that the fonts you choose for output will supported the characters that you need.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Test by trying this.</div><div><br></div><div>On your key board turn the Number Lock on to enable the numeric key pad for numerals. On some lap tops you may find a short cut key combination is required instead or use an alternative method <a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/index.html#win">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/index.html#win</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Holding the Alt key down without release, type a numeric code like 0151 and then release the Alt key. This should show the long hyhon.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is an e with an umlaut <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; ">0235</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>These numbers are normally the same as the { type configuration of you have ever used html numeric entities.</div><div><br></div><div>Otherwise here is a list of the full swag -and there are nnn type codes as well but the four-digit ones are pretty reliably available.</div>
<div><br></div><div>More information is available here (Mac):</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you require a limited range, it would be possible to set these up as insertions in TeXworks scripts with keyboard shortcuts as well (might be easier than remembering the numbers).</div><div><br></div>
<div>I Hope that this solves it for you :)</div><div><br></div><div>Paul<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 31 January 2011 07:33, Ralf Kalinowski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ralf.kalinowski@googlemail.com">ralf.kalinowski@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
