This whole procedure is of course hideous and -error-prone. -<p/>The simplest alternative is to type in an encoding that has the -diacriticised characters in it, and to use an appropriate encoding -definition file in the <i>inputenc</i> package. So for example, -type: -<blockquote> - <code>\</code><code>usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}</code><br> - <code>...</code><br> - <code>\</code><code>begin{tabbing}</code><br> - <code>...</code><br> - <code>...</code> <code>\</code><code>></code> <code>voilà</code> <code>\</code><code>></code> <code>...</code> -</blockquote><p> -for: -<blockquote> - ...\quad voilà\quad ... -</blockquote><p> -and the internal mechanisms of the <i>inputenc</i> package will put -the right version of the accent command in there. -<p/>A witty reversal of the r\^oles is introduced by the package -<i>Tabbing</i> (note the capital “T”): it provides a -<code>Tabbing</code> environment which duplicates -<code>tabbing</code>, but all the single-character commands become -complicated objects. So <code>tabbing</code>’s <code>\</code><code>></code> becomes -<code>\</code><code>TAB></code>, <code>\</code><code>=</code> becomes <code>\</code><code>TAB=</code>, and so on. The above trivial -example would therefore become: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\usepackage{Tabbing} -... -\begin{Tabbing} - ... ... \TAB> voil\`a \TAB> ... -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>Tabbing.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/Tabbing.zip">macros/latex/contrib/Tabbing</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/Tabbing.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/Tabbing/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tabacc">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tabacc</a> -</body> |
