1.0G. Accents and other diacritical marks
In French, Portuguese, and Spanish do not transcribe or add accent marks over letters that are transcribed in their capitalized form. (Note: The Spanish letter Ñ is transcribed as found since it is a separate letter of the Spanish alphabet.) For books published before 1801, retain an accent found in the source being transcribed, but do not add one not present. Apply these guidelines also to headings, as appropriate.
