  • Extracting titles from Entries strips latex macro "\"

    I'm trying to do some processing on a bibtex file which has the "\ldots" macro in it's title field.

Here's a diff of what I did to make the change obvious: *** apa1480_stub.c.old Thu Feb 15 17:35:17 2001 --- apa1480_stub.c Thu Feb 15 17:37:31 2001...
