I need to put some french e's with a double point above into my text. The LaTeX markup I employ is \"{e} and I use that code in my markdown source, but Pandoc converts this to "{e} in the pdf and "\{e\} in a .tex file.

On the other hand, \c{c} for a cédille works fine, so I suppose this has to do with the way pandoc treats "-signs.

Is there a way to make the conversion work or do I have to first convert to TeX, than edit the tex-file by hand and compile it to pdf?

    Welcome to TeX SX! You don't need any latex code for accented letters for more than 20 years! Just use utf8 input encoding and directly type é, è à, ù, &c.

    Thanks for the reply and the hint to utf8. Actually, I do use utf8, but until now I lacked the key combinations to enter the special signs in my editor -- your answer made me research how to do it, so now the problem is solved. I use vim, and just learned about the digraph feature to produce the signs directly - rendering with pandoc (pdflatex) works just fine.
