Comment:
Sphinx uses {{{\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}}}}, so if we want to change
this to [utf8x], we need to patch Sphinx. I have no experience with
[utf8] or [utf8x], but the documentation for inputenc frowns on utf8x, to
some extent. Another option is to add characters one by one, as needed,
using
{{{
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{blah}{blah}
}}}
(See the documentation for inputenc.) If we knew the details, we could
add lines like this to {{{SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/doc/common/conf.py}}} --
add to the {{{latex_preamble}}}. I don't know the details.
A third option is to get rid of all accents, as mvngu's patch does.
A fourth option is to use the attached patch {{{trac_8036-tex-
replacements.patch}}}, which does some preprocessing, changing the
offending character to something latex can handle.
I'll mark this as "needs review", in case option 4 is appealing.
