This works for this special file but will of course fail when you use e.g. an
umlaut in the text. So
it turned out that adding "latin9" to the document class options is indeed the
proper solution.
Maybe we should add this by default in the layout file - I'll investigate this.
Here is the analysis:
- the major problem of A&A is that it comes with an outdated version of natbib.sty and that this
version is customized for the needs of A&A. This leads to many problems because LaTeX might use this
natbib for other files so that other documents can become uncompilable (as we have seen with JASA).
Unfortunately one cannot use for A&A the unmodified natbib from CTAN
Result:
- I removed the manual bibliography and used in the example file BibTeX
- I mentioned in the layout file that A&A loads natbib by default so that you don't get
compilation errors when setting natbib in the document settings
- A&A always loads inputenc with the option utf8. To get additional encodings, A&A provides the the
class options "ascii", "latin1" and "latin9". This is problematic if e.g. the author name of a paper
contains a Vietnamese character. But OK, that is the decision of A&A
Result:
- I predefined the option "latin9" in the layout file and added a note in the template and example
file that this option should be used for accented characters
