I have trouble getting capital letters with a combination of accent and macron in XeLaTeX. I used this: \'{\=A}, but I didn't get the accent where I expected it to be. Also, i was wondering if it is possible to to have an upper case stressed capital letter?

If the font has the necessary glyphs, you cand use combining accents:
U+0304 COMBINING MACRON
U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE
Thus
A^^^^0304^^^^0301
or the direct input

(find out how your keyboard can realize it) should produce the requested result:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
A^^^^0304^^^^0301
Ā́
\end{document}

Ok, and to have the capital letter superscript (that's what I meant by "upper case stressed capital letter", sorry for my English), I found out I need this command \textsuperscript{LÚ}.I have a last question, which is quite specific: does any of you know if it possible to get a capital letter with a macron and an accent in italic characters? I got a weird result when I used the regular italic command.ben– ben2013-03-31 13:52:53 +00:00Commented Mar 31, 2013 at 13:52
You can use the covington package :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{covington}
\begin{document}
\acm{A}
\end{document}
You can consult its manual from here.
To combine any 2 accents one can use the \twoacc function, for example :
\twoacc[\~|\={a}]
will provide with
EDIT
About the stressed capital letter, since I really don't know about the meaning of it (and to avoid explaining anything I don't understand) : you might want to check the \textsecstress function.

1ben was asking about "letters with a combination of accent and macron" and not about a letter accented in the simple way.Jean Baldraque– Jean Baldraque2013-03-31 07:27:44 +00:00Commented Mar 31, 2013 at 7:27
