14.4 Inserting Accents
Here is a table with the commands Texinfo provides for inserting
floating accents. They all need an argument, the character to accent,
which can either be given in braces as usual (@'{e}), or, as
a special case, the braces can be omitted, in which case the argument
is the next character (@'e). This is to make the source as
convenient as possible to type and read, since accented characters are
very common in some languages.
If the command is alphabetic, such as @dotaccent, then there
must be a space between the command name and argument if braces are
not used. If the command is non-alphabetic, such as @', then
there must not be a space; the argument is the very next
character.
Exception: the argument to @tieaccent must be enclosed in
braces (since it is two characters instead of one).
To get the true accented characters output in Info, not just the ASCII
transliterations, it is necessary to specify @documentencoding
with an encoding which supports the required characters
(see section @documentencoding). In this case,
you can also use non-ASCII (e.g., pre-accented) characters in the
source file.
