Re: question: remapping accented character

you can use abrrev feature:

(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table '(
    ("alpha" "α" nil 0)
    ("beta" "β" nil 0)
    ("gamma" "γ" nil 0)
    ("theta" "θ" nil 0)
    ("Infinity" "∞" nil 0)
    ("eop" "∎" nil 0)
    ("luv" "♥" nil 0)
    ("é" "{{\\\\'e}}" nil 0)
)
)

or you can define a shortcut to insert whatever:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-i a") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "α")))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-i b") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "β")))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-i t") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "θ")))

Hi.  This is probably the wrong place for this question, but I really  
can't figure out where to find this information.

How can I remap accented characters?  Specifically, in bibtex mode  
(because bibtex does not deal correctly with Latin-1), when I type  
"é" (e-acute-accent) I wish the string "{{\\'e}}" to appear in the  
buffer. Similarly for other diacritical characters.

Everything I tried so far has failed.  Thanks for any help.
