Patrice, Thank you for the reply.
I don't really have a good answer, of course. I'd think to try U+0361 or its HTML equivalent, as my test here <p>test o͡o test o͡o</p> but I honestly have no idea which browsers show what, and which fonts support the character ... Perhaps, though, the compiler could somehow warn, rather than output an incorrect answer? (Forgive me, I only use Texinfo for the latexrefman project so maybe the suggestion is not sensible.) Alternatively, "oo" without the square bracket would be better, from my perspective. It would have helped me if at least the manual could say something like, "There is no HTML equivalent for this character that will display correctly on most browsers and with most fonts." That might also keep other people from submitting as a bug? Regards, Jim ........................................................... Doesn’t it feel like the dystopian future we deserve? Like in a decade everyone will make their living by steering colorful blob-like creatures around to acquire coins in a virtual world, but ownership of the colorful blob-like virtual creatures will be concentrated among a hereditary elite of people who, like, bought Dogecoin in 2014, and in order to scrape together enough to live on you will need to indenture yourself to a member of that elite, steering their blob-like virtual creatures around to earn coins for them and getting a few crumbs for yourself. And you’ll work 16-hour days in the Smooth Love Potions mines just to feed your children, but every once in a while in a rare free moment you will stop and ask yourself “wait why do our overlords want all these Smooth Love Potions anyway?” --Matt Levine ________________________________________ From: Patrice Dumas <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2021 11:01 To: Hefferon, Jim S.

In PDF the accent is applied whether the result exists in unicode or not, by composing characters and accents. In HTML it is done differently, there is a table to map accented letters with unicode chracters, if there is no mapping an ascii representation of the accent is used. For example @ringaccent{o} has no mapping to unicode, so is converted as 'o*'. We also have some unicode diacritics for the accent commands, but I think that it does not really work to use those and simply hope to have composition. What HTML output would you expect for @tieaccent{oo}? Are you aware of a way to have composition of letter and diacritics in HTML? -- Pat
