1 year ago I've started working on this but it's more complicated than I expected because all patterns like \"o, \"{o}, {\"o}, {\"{o}} should be converted to ö and there is a full list of symbols in https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/blob/develop/base/utf8ienc.dtx. I'm rewriting the whole BibTeX parser with lpeg to solve this issue.
This percent issue is a bug and it should be corrected: str = string.gsub(str, "\\%%", "%%").

Hey,
great project, thank you for sharing it! In order to use it for German references, I had to modify citeproc-bib.lua and thought you might be interested in my code as you left a "-- TODO: unicode chars like \"{o}" in bib.unescape. So here's my simple code inserted below that TODO: str = string.gsub(str, "\\"o", "ö") str = string.gsub(str, "\\"a", "ä") str = string.gsub(str, "\\"u", "ü") str = string.gsub(str, "\\"O", "Ö") str = string.gsub(str, "\\"A", "Ä") str = string.gsub(str, "\\"U", "Ü")
Additionally, I found that str = string.gsub(str, "\%%", "%") leads to this error for some files: "...mf-dist/scripts/citation-style-language/citeproc-bib.lua:158: invalid use of '%' in replacement string", where line 158 is str = string.gsub(str, "\%%", "%"). My quick fix was to simply comment it out, but I guess you can do better than me and maybe fix that issue? :)
Cheers
