Two ways to choose from:

1) Just use the ISO 8859-1 character set which includes the
   necessary accents for French.

2) Use entity references.  For example &ouml; == ö.  A complete
   list of the entity names can be found in
   the files /usr/share/sgml/ISO/ on 2.2+ FreeBSD systems.

Another way is to periodically check
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/doc/FAQ.  Here
you can easily retrieve the latest version of the FAQ in SGML
source form, and view the complete revision history.
