Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect bug # and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. ** Changed in: bibtool (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209872 Title: bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bibtool/+bug/209872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 209872] Re: bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase
New development: on Ubuntu 9.04, bibtool will crash while trying to process the file I attached to illustrate the problem. Right, I missed the part of the documentation which says that bibtool won't work with code points greater than 127 but I'd expect a tool which has this limitation to do something like: if char 127, then fail graciously by printing an error message and exiting with a non-zero status Unfortunately, the current behavior is undetermined. As for supporting other encodings, I would suggest supporting Unicode (in addition to what is currently supported) but not other encodings: one can always use tools like recode to convert to Unicode, then process the file with bibtool and then use recode again to convert to whatever encoding the user desires. (BTW, using recode to convert a Unicode BibTeX file to LaTeX encoding (e.g. recode utf8..latex biblio.bib) does not produce good results.) -- bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 209872] Re: bibtool does not convert accented characters to lowercase
The documentation of BibTool states in the section on limitations: In several modules ASCII encoding is assumed. This means that BibTool does not know anything about characters with a code point above 127. I will think whether this limitation can be released -- which means adding support for (many?) encodings.
