How can I compile LaTeX in UTF8?

Question

I did my document in an ISO-standard. It does not support umlaut alphabets, such as ä and ö. I need them. The document gets compiled without UTF8, but not with UTF8. More precisely, the document does not get compiled with the line at the beginning of my main.tex: ``` \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} ``` How can I compile my LaTeX document in UTF8?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure whether I got your problem but maybe it helps if you store the source using a UTF-8 encoding.

I'm also using `\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}` in my LaTeX sources and by storing the files as UTF-8 files everything works just peachy.
