\HeaderA{encoded\_text\_to\_latex}{Translate non-ASCII Text to LaTeX Escapes}{encoded.Rul.text.Rul.to.Rul.latex}
\keyword{utilities}{encoded\_text\_to\_latex}
\begin{Description}\relax
Translate non-ASCII characters in text to LaTeX escape sequences.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
encoded_text_to_latex(x, encoding = c("latin1", "latin2", "latin9",
                                       "UTF-8", "utf8"))
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] a character vector.
\item[\code{encoding}] the encoding to be assumed.  \code{"latin9"} is
officially ISO-8859-15 or Latin-9, but known as latin9 to LaTeX's
\code{inputenc} package.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
Non-ASCII characters in \code{x} are replaced by an appropriate LaTeX
escape sequence, or \code{?} if there is no appropriate sequence.

Even if there is an appropriate sequence, it may not be supported by
the font in use.  Hyphen is mapped to \code{\bsl{}-}.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A character vector of the same length as \code{x}.
\end{Value}
