For example, in LilyPond 2.4 and earlier, accents and non-English

-@samp{No\"el} (this would print the French word for
+@code{No\"el} (this would print the French word for
@q{Christmas}). In LilyPond 2.6 and above, the special
-@samp{ë} must be entered directly into the LilyPond file as an
+@code{ë} must be entered directly into the LilyPond file as an
UTF-8 character. @code{convert-ly} cannot change all the LaTeX
special characters into UTF-8 characters; you must manually update
your old LilyPond files.
