BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Accents in BibTeX Database Entry

[Dutty_Sutty]

Hi,

Two minor problems:

First, getting my bibliography into alphabetical order with accented letters present. I have the following in my BibTeX file:

Code: Select all

@article{sahin_unemployment_2010,
	title = {The unemployment gender gap during the 2007 recession},
	volume = {16},
	number = {2},
	journal = {Current Issues in Economics and Finance},
	author = {\c{S}ahin, A. and Song, J. and Hobijn, B.},
	year = {2010}
}

Notice the accent on the 'S'. It reads this as a 'c' because of the '\c', though. Any ideas how to get this to appear under 'S' in my bibliography?

Second, I want an accent on top of the 'E' in the article below, but it isn't appearing (the accent on the 'a' is appearing, though):

Code: Select all

@article{nagypal_worker_2008,
	title = {Worker reallocation over the business cycle: {{The}} importance of employer-to-employer transitions},
	shorttitle = {Worker reallocation over the business cycle},
	journal = {Mimeo},
	author = {Nagyp\'{a}l, \'{E}},
	year = {2008}
}

Cheers,
DS

I'm not certain how to handle the S vs \c S problem, but the second one can be handled with braces, I expect:

Code: Select all

@article{nagypal_worker_2008,
    title = {Worker reallocation over the business cycle: {{The}} importance of employer-to-employer transitions},
    shorttitle = {Worker reallocation over the business cycle},
    journal = {Mimeo},
    author = {Nagyp{\'a}l, {\'E}},
    year = {2008}
}

Note that {\c S} will always be typset as S with circumflex, but if your bibliography style file asks for initial capitals or all capitals, you could inadvertantly change \c {S} to \C {S}, which of course is not the same thing. As such, it is advisable to always put LaTeX commands inside braces when writing the .bib file.
