Hi!
When I use the section and similar snippets to create a section and have a title with an Umlaut then it looks like this:
\section{this is an Umlaut-test: äöüß} % (fold) \label{sec:this_is_an_umlaut_test_äöüß}
% section this_is_an_umlaut_test_äöüß (end)
The problem with this is that LaTeX seems not to handle umlauts and other special characters in labels and therefore I always have to change them to something else like
\section{this is an Umlaut-test: äöüß} % (fold) \label{sec:this_is_an_umlaut_test_aeoeuess}
% section this_is_an_umlaut_test_aeoeuess (end)
by hand. Isn't there a possibility to do this automatically? Ä -> Ae Ö -> Oe Ü -> Ue ß -> ss ä -> ae ö -> oe ü -> ue
I think similar stuff would be useful for anyone using languages with accents or whatever with the LaTeX-bundle and it works already with ":" and other special characters which become an underscore. Would be really appreciated by me if this small addition could be made :)

Yeah, it has come up before [1]. Doing intelligent transliteration with the current snippet syntax would make the snippets very complex and tedious to maintain. But we should be able to at least blank out accented characters.
I’ll look at the snippets later.

Thx for that - I knew that there was something about it already on the list but couldn't find it. Blanking out the characters would be a nice first step :)
Thx for that in advance :)
