tools:::latexToUtf8() doesn't convert the LaTeX accented character
"\\'i<file://'i>" to í (see Bug #18208
https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18208, reported by Manuel
López-Ibáñez for details and justification). For example:
> tools:::latexToUtf8(tools::parseLatex("\\'i<file://'i>"))
\'i
It does the conversion if i is replaced by '\i':
> tools:::latexToUtf8(tools::parseLatex("\\'\\i<file://'//i>"))
í
Both are acceptable in LaTeX.
I think that this can be fixed by adding a line to the definition of
makeLatexTable() in R/src/library/tools/R/parseLatex.R, just before it returns:
makeLatexTable <- function(utf8table)
{
...
table[["\\textemdash<file://textemdash>"]] <- "\u2014"
latexArgCount[["\\textemdash<file://textemdash>"]] <<- 0
table$"\\'"$"i" <- table$"\\'"$"\\i<file://i>" # Georgi
table
}
I can submit a patch if I get access to bugzilla.
After building R-devel svn 81022 from 2021-10-08 with the above change, we get
what we want:
> tools:::latexToUtf8(tools::parseLatex("\\'i<file://'i>"))
í
> tools:::latexToUtf8(tools::parseLatex("\\'\\i<file://'//i>"))
í
