Hi,
I have a weird issue when creating a package with latin1 encoding.
All works fine except the fact that I can't put non-ASCII characters
in the title tag. There is NA in the place of the title in the pdf file
of the documentation.
I can put non-ASCII characters in the other tags (description, details...).
I well verified that I put in the DESCRIPTION file the line :
Encoding: latin1
in the Rd file the line :
\encoding{latin1}
and when I have a line in the Rd file as :
\title{Calcul de l'anti-réactivité}
there is NA in the pdf file as a result.
If I write \title{Calcul de l'anti-reactivite}, there is the good text
in the pdf file.

I have the same issue on the XP OS.
But I am sure in the past that I was able to put accentuated characters
in the \title tag but I have been searching for a day and I don't find
the reason.
Thank you for your help.
Laurent
