Hello,I am totally new to this eMail-List, so I hope this question does not seem dumb, or so..
I write my LaTeX documents usually in emacs, that works very fine at my personal computer. Since I am german, I use the UTF-8 encoding. I load the package for UTF-8 encoding in TeX simply with /usepackage[utf-8]{inputenc}, which really improves typing a lot (I am german, so I use frequently umlauts and the szlig).
However, at the computer-terminals in our institute, they do not support UTF-8. LaTeX gives me an error-message, that [utf-8] is not supported by inputenc.
My idea was to convert the document into an UTF-8 free file. So that all occurences of umlauts will be converted into the LaTeX equivalent (e.g. ö to "o), and I could also compile the file on the debain-boxes at our instiute.
I think that this could be achived with a few lines of code, but I am somewhat new to customize emacs with elisp (havent done anything yet), so could you please give me a hint or point me where to look.
Thanks in advance, Christian from Germany
