& e.g., \verb?h\^{o}te? yields `h\^{o}te' \\
\verb?\"{o}? & \"{o}
& e.g., \verb?H\"{o}lder? yields `H\"{o}lder' \\
\verb?\~{n}? & \~{n}
& e.g., \verb?ma\~{n}ana? yields `ma\~{n}ana' \\

These accents are for use in ordinary text. They cannot be
used within mathematical formulae, since different control
sequences are used to produce accents within mathematics.
