How to add accents to the authors names

AdrienCorenflos opened this issue 3 years ago · 2 comments

Hi,
Thanks for providing this!
I have a coauthor with accents in his name, how can I specify the accents in a way that is compatible with the bibtext output and the apa one?

If I was writing my bib myself, I would do \"{a}. What is the corresponding way for setting family-names?

Thanks

Hi @AdrienCorenflos, generally I would recommend just using the accented character directly these days. I would be surprised if there is any tooling out there that can't cope with UTF8 just fine. I've not used \"{a} and the like for years.

Or do you have a particular issue with a tool somewhere?
