<br>Hello all,<br><br>I have a strange problem with BibTeX and NatBib. I want to cite the PSTricks book by Herbert Vo\ss. BibTeX is rather picky about special characters, such as accented letters. They have to be included in a pair of braces, with the \ of the special character immediately following the opening brace. There cannot be any other braces surrounding these braces.
<br><br>According to the manuals this is a correct example:<br><br> author = "Kurt G{\"o}del",<br><br><br>It surprises me therefore that my entry<br><br> author = "Herbert Vo{\ss}",<br><br>does not work!
<br><br>Actually, it does work partially. In all my references in the text (author-date references using the NatBib package) the \ss character is typeset properly. However, in the bibliography at the end of my document it does not work. There it typesets ss instead of \ss.
<br><br>All special characters in book titles (including the title for this particular reference!) print properly too. It's just the \ss and only in the bibliography itself that fails to work.<br><br>Does anyone know how to solve this strange problem?
<br><br>Thanks for your help,<br>Yuri.<br><br><br>
