Here is a table with the commands Texinfo provides for inserting
floating accents. The commands with non-alphabetic names do not take
braces around their argument (which is taken to be the next character).
(Exception: @,
does take braces around its argument.)
This is so as to make the source as convenient to type and read as
possible, since accented characters are very common in some languages.
To get the true accented characters output in Info, and not just the
ASCII transliterations, it is necessary to specify
@documentencoding
with an encoding which supports the required
characters (see @documentencoding
).
