Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Typesetting of Umlauts fails

[Willie]

Hello. I am trying to write "Schrödinger" but unable to write ö. I am attaching my code. There wasn't any error message, but a '?' appears instead of 'ö',even after typesetting several times.
any ideas will be appreciated

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
	This is Schrödinger equation.
\end{document}

Make sure that not only your input encoding is set to Unicode. The file has also to be saved in UTF-8 encoding. Your editor should provide according settings. In most cases you can do this by choosing "Save as" from the "File" menu and select the right encoding in the following dialog window.

Unfortunately I don't see such an option...
I am using Inlage 4 editor. When I press on "save as" I don't see such an option, nor when I check other menus so far.

Unicode support is listed among the LaTeX features of this editor. I guess that the help function should further you in this regard.

ok, I found an option to change the encoding from "Default" to "UTF-8". but it still doesn't work. And since it did work in a different editor, I'll try to find a solution for Inlage.

Thanks. And if anyone finds please tell me

Since you seem to write your documents in German, there might be a better alternative regarding input encoding. The selinput package from the oberdiek bundle selects the right input encoding by certain glyphs. For the German language there is a special example in the package manual.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{%
  adieresis={ä},
  germandbls={ß}
  Euro{€}
}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
  Schrödinger
\end{document}

The package will select the right input encoding automatically and you don't have to care about the encoding for the source file.

Actually, I am not writing my documents in german, but rather in english. I just needed Schrödinger equation to be written with the umlaut.
but it's nice that there is such package, good to know

Anyway I just opened up the program, compiled it, and it worked without any further change of my side. So maybe it needed re-run before changes take effect? or some kind of update...

[gnils]

Hi, the problem wasn't solved by re-running Inlage but by opening the file again. If you just change the encoding without saving the file (it doesn't happen if you run and the file is unchanged) the encoding of the filename is still the old one.

You don't need any Unicode stuff for umlauts if you're writing the document in English, just use \"{}:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\begin{document}
   This is Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
\end{document}

You don't need any Unicode stuff for umlauts if you're writing the document in English, just use \"{}:

I do if I want the letter be built-in the document... (and not as combination of signs)
