Is the percent sign (%) really for comments in BiBTeX

Post by dl3fo3 »

According to BiBTeX comment, one writes comments by using @Comment command or writing a comment outside an entry, it never mentions the percent sign %.

I always thought every line starting with % is a comment in BiBTeX. Is there some gotcha if one continues to use % for comments?
