<a name="index-Inserting-accents"></a>
<a name="index-Accents_002c-inserting"></a>
<a name="index-Floating-accents_002c-inserting"></a>

<p>Here is a table with the commands Texinfo provides for inserting
floating accents.  They all need an argument, the character to accent,
which can either be given in braces as usual (<code>@'{e}</code>), or, as
a special case, the braces can be omitted, in which case the argument
is the next character (<code>@'e</code>).  This is to make the source as
convenient as possible to type and read, since accented characters are
very common in some languages.
</p>
<p>If the command is alphabetic, such as <code>@dotaccent</code>, then there
must be a space between the command name and argument if braces are
not used.  If the command is non-alphabetic, such as <code>@'</code>, then
there must <em>not</em> be a space; the argument is the very next
character.
</p>
<p>Exception: the argument to <code>@tieaccent</code> must be enclosed in
braces (since it is two characters instead of one).
</p>
<a name="index-documentencoding"></a>
<p>To get the true accented characters output in Info, not just the ASCII
transliterations, it is necessary to specify <code>@documentencoding</code>
with an encoding which supports the required characters
(see <a href="_0040documentencoding.html#g_t_0040documentencoding"><tt>@documentencoding</tt></a>).  In this case, you can also use
non-ASCII (e.g., pre-accented) characters in the source file.
