glossaries : accent commands in 'see' references

Question

Using the glossaries package, referencing another entry in \newglossaryentry with the see=label key, the following problem occurs if the name=... key of the referenced label has accent commands:

\newglossaryentry{right-view}
{name={Right View},
description={The first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path},
see=samma-ditthi}

\newglossaryentry{samma-ditthi}
{name={samm\=a-di\d{t}\d{t}hi},
description={Right View, the first of the eight factors of the Noble Eightfold Path, the path leading to \textit{nibb\=ana}. In the highest sense to have Right View means to understand the Four Noble Truths}}

\gls{right-view}, \gls{samma-ditthi}

How to fix this?

Answer 1

Use the sanitize option. See p. 26--27 of the glossaries documentation for details (and keep an eye out for possible adverse effects).

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[sanitize=none]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{right-view}
{name={Right View},
description={The first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path},
see=samma-ditthi}

\newglossaryentry{samma-ditthi}
{name={samm\=a-di\d{t}\d{t}hi},
description={Right View, the first of the eight factors of the Noble Eightfold Path, the path leading to \textit{nibb\=ana}. In the highest sense to have Right View means to understand the Four Noble Truths}}
