* Special characters in tables (iso-latin-1 or utf-8) @ 2013-09-27 8:21 Jarmo Hurri 2013-09-27 8:53 ` Michael Brand 2013-09-27 10:02 ` Marcin Borkowski 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Jarmo Hurri @ 2013-09-27 8:21 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Greetings. A lot of my tables contain special characters (such as ä and ö) because those are used in Finnish names. These are now causing problems for me in table formulas. Can someone tell me how to fix the table below so that the formula will work? * testing table | string | same string | |--------+-------------| | abc | abc | | smörre | #ERROR | #+TBLFM: $2=$1 When I open a new org-file and type special characters in it, the default encoding seems to be iso-latin-1; changing this to utf-8 has not helped.

My guess would be that the reason is that calc supports only ASCII strings. > All the best, > > Jarmo Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
