How to manage the underscore in DOI or url specifically in BibDesk? What is the recommended method?
We cannot replace "_" by "\_" because in the DOI or url field of BibDesk, there is a little icon which open the browser to the DOI website with the number in the DOI field, or to the url displayed in the url field, and an address like https://www.my-example.com/a\_test is NOT the same address as the address https://www.my-example.com/a_test. AND if the "_" is not replaced by "\_", the preview TeX for the bibliography entry cannot be created (a red error is displayed instead). So, please, what is the recommendation for this problem? A complete guide to this problem can be useful (on the website or the user help). If the file ~/Library/Application Support/BibDesk/previewtemplate.tex has to be edited for this problem, what is the edit to do? I have tried adding \usepackage[strings]{underscore} in the preamble, but this don't work (suggested here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/523253/132405). I don't understand why the DOI organization has chosen the character "_" as available character for DOI numbers, as the TeX world uses a lot of DOI, and "_" is special in the TeX world, but this is another question, not for here. For testing, I use in the setting, TeX preview, the "elsarticle-num" BiBTeX style (manually entered). By the way, why this above popup menu don't display all available .bst in the LaTeX installation, a least the .bst in /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst? If this list is too big, there is perhaps a middle between the actual situation (it displays only abbrv, abbrvnat, acm, alpha, amsalpha, amsplain, apalike, gerabbrv, geralpha, gerapali, gerplain, ieeetr, jurabib, jureco, plabbrv, plalpha, plplain, plainnat, siam. Not abbrv-fr, plain-fr for the French, for example). The help says about the list in the popup menu: "This is a list of generic styles that may or may not exist on your system." Perhaps, but why few styles for German or Polish, and not French (and other languages)?
