[R] Sweave and accents

[Arnau Mir Torres]

Hello.

I want to write my notes in Sweave in my own language (spanish). But  
my language has accents and when I run Sweave in R to translate my Snw  
file into the tex file the accents are translated into unrecognizable  
characters.
For example, the word "camión" (truck) is translated into "camión"

Somebody knows how can I do it?

One solution I don't like is using a perl program to substitute my  
accented letters into "normal" accents in LaTeX in my Snw file before  
running Sweave.  That is:

á -> \'a
é -> \'e
...

The problem is when I run the spelling program, it doesn't work  
because the spelling doesn't recognize the words with "normal" accents.

There is a solution but it is tedious:

1)  substitute the accented letters letter into "normal" accents in  
LaTeX.
2) run Sweave and create the tex file.
3) subtitute the "normal" accents into the accented letters in the tex  
file.


My question is:
Is there another way to do it?


Arnau.
