It might be better to post it to the LyX mailing list
(lyx-us...@lists.lyx.org) since you are using LyX. Anyway, the problem
came from Sweave: you did not tell us your R version, and I suppose
you are using the latest version of R (2.14.0). There are two ways of
telling Sweave your UTF8 encoding (see ?Sweave); one of them is via
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}. In LyX, you need to set the document
encoding to "Unicode (utf8)" in Document
Settings-->Language-->Encoding. The next version of LyX (2.0.2) will
address this issue better.Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 7:21 PM, Giuseppe <neo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I often use Lyx/Sweave and I typically write in english. > > Today I had to write a document in Italian and, as many of you know, > many italian popular words use è, ù, é. ò, etc. > > I discovered that if I type in Italian (that is there is at least one > letter with accent) with the Sweave module selected lye is not able > to correctly compile the document. > > I tried to change the input encoding, but it still does not work.
