TeX accent to normalised UTF-8 accent/character conversion

Hi Jon, getting back to one of the first questions, I tried to get a script that converts (my) BibTeX files with TeX accents to normalised UTF-8. It's at http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/~bfi/tex2uni.pl . Although it's probably quite buggy, it does convert my database and takes care of most TeX accents I ...

Thanks for the fix! And thanks for looking into the commas (no idea who wants to see 6 editors, but …)

Cheers,

None of the formats we create use User1, just for this reason. This includes MLA (if you see differently, please let me know). DIN 1505 was contributed by a user. If you, or any other German-speaking user, would like to change this format by substituting a more appropriate field for "u1" ...

Thanks, I No. Historically it's been 2-3 years between charged-for upgrades, and Bookends 10 was released in July of this year. Thanks, I was rather wondering about the ‘legal’ issue (no longer a student => upgrade to ‘real license’) than about the update period. I got a license now (the €...

I appreciate the posts. :-) Thanks, that's too kind. I do add more TeX conversions periodically (and yes, generally when other development efforts aren't pressing), and I'll take a look at these. Thanks for your interesting feedback. Thanks for ‘listening’. So I'll wait for the things to come a...

Hi Jon, I meant: If I have a title of a publication that is not English, it should not be Put InTo Title Case even if the style demands that English be typeset in Title Case. So it would be nice if BookEnds used the language information for such decisions regarding formatted copy/paste. As for the c...

Hi, that was a fast reply, thanks! Hi, There are two issues here: 1. The BibTeX filter only handles tags it knows about, which are the core BibTeX tags. You have to add other tags to the filter (either to Ignore them, or to put there where you want them). For example, to get the Language tag you mig...

BibTeX import, characters and unknown fields

Hi! I'm thinking about trying a bibliography manager that integrates with WYSIWYG programmes. I've come across BookEnds and read nice comments about it, so I downloaded the Demo version. Now I tried to import my BIBTeX database, and it seems That BookEnds does not work at all. It may be my fault but...
