#721 Replace accented characters with LaTeX encoding

[Anonymous]

When I search Medline for a reference, it comes with a character encoding that contains accented characters. I have to replace all of these with their LaTeX encoding, e.g. replace an accented o with \^o. Would it be possible for JabRef to do this at the press of a button?

Thanks,
John.

I'll have a look at this.

I have now implemented a function that does this on import. I hope it is an OK behavior.

This is a very nice and important feature.
However the conversion should be made only on specific demand, that is it should be optional. For example I would prefer to store the UTF characters in my original database and save the database with converted strings (save as) before using it with bibtex. I tested JabRef 2.10 beta and it converts the accented characters to latex code on pubmed import. I could not find and option the prevent the conversion. Could this behavior be changed?
