Decoding of special characters seems to fail during Bibtex import

Created on 26 July 2020, over 4 years ago
Updated 15 August 2024, 4 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When importing a common Bibtex reference (taken from DBLP) the decoding of special characters seems to fail.

Steps to reproduce

Effect/Symptom

  • New reference will have author "Lu\" with name cut off.
  • Also the second author will not be recognised if there is a newline after "and". If you write all author information in one line that the second author appears, but is garbled as well and named "Ant\ Lopes".
  • Correctly the authors should be Luís Moniz Pereira, António Barata Lopes

    The patch in #4 works in my limited testing. It fixed the import of the following entry, which previously showed the literal \textquoteright

    @article {sullivan24ToH,
    	title = {Comparing the Perceived Intensity of Vibrotactile Cues Scaled Based on Inherent Dynamic Range},
    	journal = {IEEE Transactions on Haptics},
    	volume = {17},
    	number = {1},
    	year = {2024},
    	pages = {45-51},
    	keywords = {Actuators, Frequency modulation, Frequency response, Haptic interfaces, psychometric testing, Resonant frequency, Vibrations, wearable devices, Wrist},
    	doi = {10.1109/TOH.2024.3355203},
    	author = {Sullivan, Daziyah H. and Chase, Elyse D. Z. and O{\textquoteright}Malley, Marcia K.}
