<br>I have been told by a kindly soul why my BibTeX entry<br><span class="q"><br>> author = "Herbert Vo{\ss}",</span><br><br>displays ss rather than \ss: it is because of the font I use. <br><br>When \ss printed in regular caps or small caps (as they are by default with the style files I use), then it automatically becomes ss, according to German grammar...
<br><br>Cheers,<br>Yuri.<br>
