unicode does not work in table of contents?
David Portabella
with unicode characters in it.
("Abstract" in French is "Résumé").
Using pdflatex:
While the chapter is well written (with the two accents),
in the table of contents appears: "R[Please insert into
preamble]sum[Please insert into preamble]"
+++++++++++++++++++
\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[francais, english]{babel}
\usepackage[pdftex]{color,graphicx}
\usepackage[pdftex,bookmarks,colorlinks,breaklinks]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Abstract}
\chapter{Résumé}
\chapter{Resum}
\end{document}
+++++++++++++++++++++
What can be the problem?
Many thanks,

(note that something has converted your utf-8 (or whatever) into
iso-latin-1. i converted the source back while checking what had
happened.)
you don't mention the warnings from hyperref on first pass, saying
things like
Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDFDocEncoded string,
(hyperref) removing `\begingroup' on input line 13.
which were the first sign that things were going to turn out bad.
>What can be the problem?
the bad news is, it appears to be a bug in the way ucs.sty/utf8x.def
process utf-8.
the good news is, the latex utf8.def seems not to have that bug, so
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
(without loading ucs.sty) seems to do the business.
of course, this doesn't help if you were intending to write stuff in
unicode greek or urdu or whatever, but if you're sticking to french,
the latex offering will be good enough for you.
i don't know what one does about bugs in ucs.sty; istr someone saying
its author isn't interested any more, but i'll see if i can rouse
him.

His newsreader did that (and declared it correctly).

Not here (tetex 3): every other pdflatex run works, but inbetween you get
the messed up toc. But what works here is
\usepackage[utf8x,utf8]{inputenc}
(with ucs.sty).

Then it would probably be better to use latin1, since not all packages work
with utf8 (e.g. listings).

He says it himself on his homepage: http://www.unruh.de/DniQ/latex/unicode/

note: if you only need french accents, you may as well use latin1 as input
encoding, which means you can drop the ucs package.
however, as to your problem, i had the same issue the other day (and i
certainly cannot use latin1, so...) the message that appeared was a bit
more verbose, however, and told me to put the following in the preamble:
\PrerenderUnicode{áž }
áž (d with dot below) being one of the characters that were causing me
problems.
i have no idea what this command does, but it solved the problem for me.

For French, it's probably better to use latin9, as it includes œ, Œ (\oe,
\OE).

It works!
Many thanks,
