Hi all,

This may have been asked before, but I have failed to find an answer.
If it was asked, I would appreciate a pointer so I can read about it.

So this is the problem: I write some documents using latex/bibtex and
some others (essentially with collaborators who don't use latex) with
Pages. For Pages, I use CiteinPages.

Now, wherever a publication includes accented/special characters, for
example in author's names, then:

1. If the entry is written in proper bibtex format:

@article{Vanacova:2005aa,
        Author = {Van{\'a}cov{\'a}, Step{\'a}nka and Wolf, Jeannette and
Martin, Georges and Blank, Diana and Dettwiler, Sabine and Friedlein,
Arno and Langen, Hanno and Keith, Gérard and Keller, Walter},
        Journal = {PLoS Biol},
        Journal-Full = {PLoS biology},
        Month = {Jun},
        Number = {6},
        Pages = {e189},
        Title = {A new yeast poly(A) polymerase complex involved in RNA
quality control},
        Volume = {3},
        Year = {2005}}

then latex/bibtex do what they promise but Pages/CiteinPages show the
author's name with the brackets, etc

2. If the entry is left as it was imported from PubMed, that is, with
accented characters:

@article{Vanacova:2005aa,
        Author = {Vanácová, Stepánka and Wolf, Jeannette and Martin, Georges
and Blank, Diana and Dettwiler, Sabine and Friedlein, Arno and Langen,
Hanno and Keith, Gérard and Keller, Walter},
        Journal = {PLoS Biol},
        Journal-Full = {PLoS biology},
        Month = {Jun},
        Number = {6},
        Pages = {e189},
        Title = {A new yeast poly(A) polymerase complex involved in RNA
quality control},
        Volume = {3},
        Year = {2005}}

Pages/CiteinPages show the citation as I would like but when I use
latex/bibtex I lose the accented characters.

Is there a way out of this situation?

Thanks a lot!


Miguel

I think you have two ways to deal with this. The first is to use XeLaTeX instead of LaTeX, which accepts accented characters. The other is to use accented characters and turn on tex conversion in the Files preferences (this will convert accented characters to tex escapes for saving and for the tex preview).
