Re: European Characters in \markup

[D Josiah Boothby]

Ah, I discovered a couple things here: first is something that might be 
in the manual, but I have never seen it, namely that \markup "qw\\'er"  
or \markup { qwér } can be used.

Regarding text editors, when I'm in emacs (without X), it depends on the 
xterm I'm using. For example, xterm, rxvt, and konsole insert a 
tab-space when I try pasting characters such as é. The GNUstep Terminal 
pastes the character just fine. When using gedit, I think the encoding 
is wrong because I get all sorts of exciting characters in my output 
when I try processing the characters. Kate works fine. Note that I have 
done minimal configuration to the programs (I don't even know where to 
start) mentioned.

Finally, when I try using the \markup "qw\\'er" method, I get the 
following error (I'm using 2.4.2 on Debian):
