Change citation bibtex #31

Closed agricolamz closed 2 years ago

agricolamz commented 2 years ago

I guess this is the right way to write a .bibtex entry.

What LaTeX configuration are you experiencing issues with? The usual recommended toolchains (xelatex/lualatex + biber) have been unicode for a while.

I also tried it out with plain old bibtex and pdflatex and it seems to work as expected (using \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}) on a wide array of citation styles.

I expected that pure pdflatex will crash with that kind of usage of unicode. I guess \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} is just another way of solving the problem.

tzakharko commented 2 years ago

UTF8 has been the default input encoding for LaTeX 2e since April 2018, so it should work even with pdflatex. It is possible that some folks might have their reasons for running an older system, but I would really prefer to keep things relatively modern unless it can be demonstrated that this causes significant issues in real world usage.

I will therefore reject this PR for now, until someone can come up with a good reason why we should avoid UTF-8 here.

Thanks!

Ok, make sense.
