Double Acute Accent

Post by fausto »

the command for double acute accent, say over the ``o'' (Hungarian accent) is

\H{o}

but for some strange reason when I use it in my document (book document class) this command produces

Ho

I guess the reason may be that there is a conflict with one of the packages that I have loaded for my document

I hope I can get some help to fix this problem

thanks in advance

Hi fausto,

welcome to the board!

good guess! So you could tell us which packages you are using, so we could find it out and help to solve that. Perhaps just copy your document preamble here.

first of all, thank you so much for your kind suggestion and warm welcome

well, first of all I examined the personal packages that I was loading in my document

(where personal means: composed of personal original macros)

and I found out that one of the macros introduced by my coauthor was

\def\H{{\cal H}}

after I commented this macros, \H{o} worked properly

problem solved

thank you so much for putting me on the right track
