General ⇒ Problems with Symbols in BibTeX

[Jerry2]

I have been having a problem with BibTex entries I can't solve. When I enter words with some symbols, I get and error when I compile BibTex and I can't compile my file in LaTeX. The cedilla works when I type "\c{C}engel", and the German double s letter "\ss" works, but getting dots above o's and a's as in \"{a} gives me this error. I would appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Try putting brackets around the special characters:

Code: Select all

{\"{a}}

Perfect. Thanks a lot.
