Hi Lisa,
These symbols can be used from the docbook xml 'ent' files such as :
<para>This is latin small a with acute : á</para>
<para>This is latin small a with acute :
á</para>
<para>This is latin small a with grave :
à</para>
<para>This is latin small a with grave : à</para>
<para>This is latin small o with diaeresis :
ö</para>
<para>This is latin small o with diaeresis :
ö</para>
Check out the files at http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4CR2/ent/ such as
http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4CR2/ent/isolat1.ent and
http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4CR2/ent/isolat2.ent
Cheers, Tristan

Dear List Members,
We are trying to figure out how to code for umlauts and acute accents.
For other special symbols we have been using <symbol role=
"symbolfont">β</symbol>, with the appropriate unicode value? in
place of the symbol, but we are unsure how to deal with those that are
placed above a letter, in this case, an umlaut over an o and an acute
accent over an a.
Thank you in advance,
Lisa Girard
