Latex’s plain text commands are also convenient for typesetting accents. For example:<\/p>\n

\"\text{Celui qui ne connait pas les langues \'etrang\`eres ne sait rien sur lui-m\^eme.}\"
\n– Goethe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[\u200clatex]\\text{Celui qui ne connait pas les langues \\'etrang\\`eres ne sait rien sur lui-m\\^eme. - Goethe} [\/latex]<\/code><\/p>\n

Note that in Pressbooks, you will need to surround the sentence by \\text{}<\/code> for the text to format properly. The table below shows the Latex commands for some common accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Common symbols can also be typeset. Note that some symbols on the keyboard have a “\\” command since the regular symbol has a special meaning in Latex. The symbols in the table below can be used in math and text mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
