you are asking.
I was asking whether we can replace the current patch with one-char patch,
removing `x` from `utf8x` in the line
{{{
latex_elements['inputenc'] = '\\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}'
}}}

the current font encoding. One possible workaround is to manually declare
them as in the patch. That concerns two places in all of the Sage docs.
so it seems that the answer is "no". I just stumbled upon this
tex.stackexchange [http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13067/utf8x-vs-
utf8-inputenc discussion]. Tricky stuff... One comment is actually saying
that `utf8x` is being maintained again...
