[pdela]

Hello everybody,

Can someone tell me what's wrote in this preamble that I can not directly write
ñ,í, and similar?

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
 
\usepackage{ae}
 
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{CV}
 
\linespread{1,3}

I copied it from some place, then tried to set it for writing in Spanish.
But not sure what the package{ae} works for.

Thanks for attention,
Pablo

solved it works with utf8 instead of any latin. Don't know I always have issues with that.

Cheers

You can evade such difficulties by using the selinput package (from the oberdiek bundle) for a semi-automatic selection of the input encoding.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[11pt,spanish]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}  % Replacement for »inputenc«
\SelectInputMappings{  % Semi-automatic selection
   aacute={á},          % of input encoding by a
   ntilde={ñ},          % list of selected glyphs
   Euro={€}             % see: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/glyphlist.txt
}
\usepackage{babel}
 
\begin{document}
   Hola! Cómo estás?
\end{document}

By the way, the ae package is obsolete. And it is better to use setspace instead of modifying \linespread for other than single line spacing.
