of you know.
I'm not sure I understand. Maybe the root of the problem is that you save the
text file in unicode instead of latin1, while using
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
instead of
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

The well known *inputenc* problem - what is left from D. Knuths Idea?
Dear list, browsing down the recent mails of the archive, I found that a lot of users found themselves vaced to that disgusting problem which occurs with the *inputenc* package, although it sureley has nothing to do with the package itself. Writing a single German diphtong goes well with LyX. But if you load the same TeX-File in vim 7.0, substitute that letter with an ASCII-sign, save the file and open again with vim to get the old German letter back, then the latex-dance failes with that annyoing problem, most of you know. I did not find any solution in the list up to now. But what is much more important to say: D. Knuths idea was that it should be able to translate LaTeX-files even in 100 years. I wonder what is left from that splendid idea. I am working with LyX since 1997 and it is not only good any more, it is splendid software. But what about the people who need a better editor (since LyX is much more) like vim? The main aim of LaTeX was IMHO that the author can focus on his work. The amount of time which is saved in contrast to wordprocessors now comes *much* more back for the search of the solution of that *inputenc* problem which is hardly possible to explain since the two TeX-Files written by vim and exported by LyX are identical. If you have any comments or ideas, thanks a lot Heiko -- Heiko Schröder Praha, Ceska Republika http://www.od.shuttle.de/evb-1
