Re: Characters supported by TeX but not in Latin 1

[Mats Bengtsson]

As long as you use version 2.2.x or earlier, it's just to
replace each backslash by a double backslash if you want
to use the TeX commands:
\\cs \\i \\ug \\.I

In 2.3.x, the answer is different since TeX isn't used to
generate the output.
