Hi, Paul:
Earlier in this thread, Göran Broström wrote, "I really only need
non-ascii to write the name of the author (me) correctly."
The standard advice I got from a similar thread some time ago is to
use the 'vanilla' Latin alphabet for key words, file and function names,

Yes, but really not; I like your p.s. solution better!

We describe how to use \enc for possible transliterations for exactly this
purpose in the `Writing R Extensions' manual.
In answer to Göran's question, yes latin1 is safer than UTF-8 for HTML
browsers but neither are guaranteed to contain a glyph for ö in a font
used e.g. in a Russian locale.

Hello, Göran:
Have you considered the German solution: "Goeran"? (e.g., Wuertz
for Würtz)?
Be thankful that you aren't Russian or Greek or Arabic or Chinese,
etc., for which there may be no standard transliteration into the Latin
alphabet.

I have been converting to utf8 from latin1, and this gives me
problems, some solved, but here is one unsolved: In my .Rd files, I
have included '\encoding{UTF-8}' at the top. Despite this, the HTML
help pages contains 'content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"', and my
name is mangled. What can I do
