Text Formatting ⇒ latin formatting lost when using \input{chapterName}

[edouard]

hi,

I am using latex with a french formatting,

Code: Select all

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}

it work smoothly as long as i keep the whole text on a single page but when i insert aditionnal parts using

Code: Select all

\input{fileName}

the "inputed" text has the typical latin caracter formatted in an unfriendly fashion (\@e ...)

i tried to put the quoted instruction at the top of the inputed files but latex cannot compile anymore.

what's wrong with my inputs,

thanks for comments,

[daleif]

would you please provide a minimal example?

What exactly do you mean by

the "inputed" text has the typical latin caracter formatted in an unfriendly fashion (\@e ...)

without an example it is a bit hard to help

Hi Edouard,

welcome to the board!
\usepackage can only be used inside the preamble. Those commands will also be valid for the by \input included parts. Perhaps those external files are having a different encoding. You could post such a file as attachment here for us to examine.

hi,

thanks for replies,

here's my formatting

\documentclass[11pt,openany]{scrbook}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%\usepackage[cyr]{aeguill}
\usepackage[french]{babel}

\usepackage{times}

\usepackage[papersize={4.25in,6.875in},hmargin=.375in,vmargin={.375in,.625in}]{geometry}

\setlength{\paperwidth}{4.25in}
\setlength{\paperwidth}{6.875in}
\special{papersize=4.25in,6.875in}

\usepackage{indentfirst}
\setlength{\parindent}{12pt}
\parskip 0pt


\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhead[L,C,R]{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\footskip}{-8mm}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}


\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

il était temps de rentrer à la maison.

\input{projetNametexfile}

\end{document}

and here's the *.dvi output i get

il était temps de rentrer à la maison.

when i use the

\input{projetNametexfile}

instead of keeping the text in the formatting file.

note that i just write this single line i the input projetNametexfile wihtout ANY latex instructions

[daleif]

Are you sure the included file is in latin1 encoding?

Does LaTeX mention anything in the log?

Most editors tend to ignore errors

[edouard]

here's the log, i don't see any errors

now i use emacs, what do you mean when you ask if my input is in latin 1 encoding considering i cannot insert a \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} in the input file

[daleif]

files can be saved in different ancodings, such as utf8, latin1 etc.

the inputenc package is just used to tell LaTeX which encoding to expect.

[daleif]

would it be possible for you to create a zip-file of the file you posted here and the file you include, and then post it online somewhere?

(use a zip or similar as not to damage the encoding during transfer)

Thanks you were right.
