How to get acute sign when writing an R markdown document?

Question

I'm trying to write a document with Rmarkdown. Kniting the Pdf works, but I don't get the acute sign.

I already tried :

\'{e}'\'{e}'n

within a word, like I did with Latex earlier, but the pdf document shows

’{e}’{e}n 

in the the document, does anyone know how to solve this?

Answer 1

You just have to use $ ... $ around your \'{e}.

$\'{e}\'{e}$n 

results in:

één

I hope this solves your problem.
