Numerous languages contains accented characters. For example, Welsh language contains acute and grave a's (àá), circumflex a,e,i,o,u,w,y and diaeresis i.

To hotkey the standard accents from the standard character set

Note: this will work only if your IT staff created a custom script and assigned it to the appropriate shortcuts.

Place your I-beam after the character where you want to put an accent on, and then press the hot key assigned to the specific accent.

About custom script

A custom script can be created that will apply the appropriate accent and insert tags, depending on the character. The script should move the I-beam on the left and get the character in a string by means of Text.GetTxt. Then, after returning to the previous position in text, depending on the character found, it should insert appropriate tags and accent.

Note: this will work well only if tags are not displayed in the text.

About using >l..< and >r.. tags

Use the >l...< and >r...< tags as in the example.

These ones are size independent, i.e. they will work on any type size.

Anyhow, it's also font dependent in some way, but it is expected to behave well for all the fonts with the same character size proportions, e.g. the W character can be wider or narrower, but it is supposed to be proportional with circumflex width. The problem could be italic fonts; it may not work well for them for some characters.
