Thanks for explaining this. Its a damn nuisance I have admit, as I've spend a long time trying to resolve this when I have little time to spare really.
I thought I was starting a new thread: I set a new subject line. Is there some other thing I am supposed to do to make that happen?? I'm not working via a web interface, and most list software I've used just works off the subject lines...
If people are updating that part of the docs, it'd be good to see it *explain* how to make bibliographies work: the "explanation" currently there is leaving too much out. I'm too busy to help (grant application due, etc.)
One thing that bothers me about this being a BibTeX issue, is that BibDesk writes these characters to RTF just fine. (It would tempt me to think that there might a work-around that gets this directly from BibDesk, avoiding BibTex.)
I've tried saving the biblio as a RTF file from BibDesk, then importing that into a LyX document, but I got "An error occurred on while running rtf2latex 'file'". (Feels like nothing wants to work over here!)
Does rtf2latex suffer the same problem as BibTex? The idea was to set up a template in BibDesk to generate the right format, write that. In LyX, let LyX do the citations (which it seems to do OK, not that I can test it that well yet), import the RTF biblio (via BiBDesk) into the right place, and just delete the LyX-generated biblio from the final exported format using a PDF editor or whatnot.
I would try the equivalent using HTML and importing that, but the formatting/styling in HTML might be even more limited.
