Typesetting Umlaut

Post by AnnaWelz »

Using Miktex 2.9

The following usepackages won't help typing german Umlaute.

documentclass is book

included are

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc
followed by

Code: Select all

\begin {document}
The document
\end{title}
included in the document is a titlepage using the titlepage package from Uni Dortmund, there Umlaute work fine.
But not in the rest of the document.
Setting the language with \selectlanguage{ngerman} after the titlepage does also not help with the Umlaute.

What am I missing?

This should already be ok, if your editor uses latin1 as input encoding. Perhaps check this settings, some use the modern and cross-platform utf encoding.

Otherwise post a Infominimal working example which shows the problem, i.e. with umlauts.
