Sorry for cutting in, but I wonder why using TeX macros in markdown in the first place? As Jason and David points out, the 'Æ' ligature is available in UTF-8 (and latin-1 as well, I think, since 'æ' is a characther of its own in some Nordic countries), and since all modern variants of TeX, namely XeTeX and LuaTeX, more or less requires UTF-8. By far, the easiest solution should be to simply use the 'æ' character in markdown -- unless there are some requirements of ascii-only markdown? And yes, pandoc converts three dots '...' to an ellipsis '…', but '...' is not a TeX macro. tis 22 sep. 2015 kl 11:53 skrev : > I think the more obvious problem is that LaTeX doesn't handle UTF-8 well. > If UTF-8 is properly supported then you don't need escape characters at > all, you can just type the æ.
