General ⇒ BibTeX | special characters in bibliography

[ddouglasgs]

Hello,

I'd like to know how to use reserved characters in my "bibliographics references", like in this case:

CVRD_Prensa_de_Rolos_1999.pdf

Thanks.

I can't see where this document has a bibliography. If you mean the lists where the items are introduced by a circle, you should use a list environment like itemize, perhaps customized with enumitem. Note that such a bibliography would not make sense. It doesn't allow references in the text because its items become indistinguishable.


Best regards and welcome to the board

No man,

the problem is when I wirte in the Bibliography.bib some url, for example:

@misc{altus,
title={anything},
url={http://www.altus.com/ftp/Public_main/access%14%oct},
urlaccessdate={17 oct. 2009}
}

see that I have special characters like "_" and "%", so when I compile appears an error because of it. So I wanna know what I could to do to finish with this problem.

I don't see a connection to your initial request. Please point out exactly the problem from the beginning. For this second issue you can try the url package.

Could you know just use \% and \_? So:

url={http://www.altus.com/ftp/Public\_main/access\%14\%oct}

Let me know if it works; I'm curious.

It doesn't works!

I already suggested the url package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}
  \url{http://www.altus.com/ftp/Public_main/access%14%oct}
\end{document}

Thus the entry of your database file has to be modified as follows.

Code: Select all

@misc{altus,
  title={anything},
  url={\url{http://www.altus.com/ftp/Public_main/access%14%oct}},
  urlaccessdate={17 oct. 2009}
}

It's still doesn't working, because of "%". The text editor thinks it's a comment.

It's not important what your text editor thinks. The following example with natbib works flawlessly.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{sample.bib}
@misc{altus,
  title={anything},
  url={http://www.altus.com/ftp/Public_main/access%14%oct},
  urlaccessdate={17 oct. 2009}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}
  \nocite{*}
  \bibliographystyle{plainnat}
  \bibliography{sample}
\end{document}
