Inserting Accents
=================

  Here is a table with the commands Texinfo provides for inserting
floating accents.  The commands with non-alphabetic names do not take
braces around their argument (which is taken to be the next character).
(Exception: `@,' _does_ take braces around its argument.)  This is so
as to make the source as convenient to type and read as possible, since
accented characters are very common in some languages.

Command           Output   What
