I write my LaTeX documents usually in emacs, that works very fine at my=20 personal computer. Since I am german, I use the UTF-8 encoding. I load=20 the package for UTF-8 encoding in TeX simply with=20 /usepackage[utf-8]{inputenc}, which really improves typing a lot (I am=20 german, so I use frequently umlauts and the szlig). However, at the computer-terminals in our institute, they do not support=20 UTF-8. LaTeX gives me an error-message, that [utf-8] is not supported by=20 inputenc. My idea was to convert the document into an UTF-8 free file. So that all=20 occurences of umlauts will be converted into the LaTeX equivalent (e.g.=20 =F6 to "o), and I could also compile the file on the debain-boxes at our=20 instiute. I think that this could be achived with a few lines of code, but I am=20 somewhat new to customize emacs with elisp (havent done anything yet),=20 so could you please give me a hint or point me where to look. Thanks in advance, Christian from Germany
