title: Accents for characters from R Markdown to Microsoft Word
body: <p>I'm trying to produce a word document with R markdown. Usually i'm creating pdf-files with no problems. I use Latex syntax to create accents for characters for normal text like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$\'{e}\'{e}$n
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then it produces "één" correctly when i knit my pdf. But this doesn't seem to work when i knit a word document, it will just show "$\'{e}\'{e}$n". So no good. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!</p>
