I am preparing a textbook using Quarto. I have a problem changing the author name. This is what is written:
project:
type: book
book:
title: "biostatistics"
author: "Sa\"{i}d M"
date: "10/7/2023"
chapters:
- index.qmd
- intro.qmd
- summary.qmd
- references.qmd
bibliography: references.bib
format:
html:
theme: cosmo
pdf:
documentclass: scrreprt
editor: visual
As you know, Sa\"{i}d
should yield Saïd. But in Quarto it yields this instead:
Can someone tell me where is the problem? What do I need to change? Thank you very much in advance.
You can add special characters like Latin Small Letter I with Diaeresis like this (in visual editor use Insert + Special Characters). Works both in HTML and PDF:
---
title: Untitled
format: pdf
author: "Saïd M"
