description
This script is based on vimscript #907 by Timo Teifel. Main reason I wrote this is that I was annoyed by the different encoded Umlauts in TeX files of different authors. Some write {\"a}, some \"a, some \"{a} some even "a.

On loading all occurances of TeX encoded German Umlauts will be replaced by their normal counterparts. On writing they are replaced by a clean standard encoding (\"a for an ä, \ss{} for ß).

Can be simply extended for other chars or utf-8 codings if there is need for...

tex_umlaute.vim 1.2 2005-06-08 6.0 Frank Thieme - now (n)german style is really (n)german style (forgot to change after copy & paste)
tex_umlaute.vim 1.1 2005-06-03 6.0 Frank Thieme Now detects Umlauts in style \"{a} and writes \"a instead of {\"a}. This is because of kerning between letters is disturbed badly by {\"a} style.
