My citation organisation tool of choice (so far) exports umlauts like ö
as \"{o}
. When these occur in the beginning of the first author's name of a bib entry, the citation shorthand is generated from the letters before the umlaut and with the dots above the first number of the year.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=alphabetic,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{lib.bib}
@book{Goethe1773,
author = {von G\"{o}the, JW},
title = {Götz von Berlichingen},
year = {1773}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{lib.bib}
\begin{document}
In~\cite{Goethe1773}...
\printbibliography
\end{document}
When I change the \"{o}
manually to {\"o}
, the shorthand is consistent with the others (Göt73
), when I change it to ö
itself, it becomes Gö73
(without t).
Can I get Göt73
without manually editing each umlaut-containing bib entry each time I export my library? (With biber as backend this is what I get in all three cases, however, there are other problems with my library.)
ö
instead of\"{o}
works fine for me, usinglatexmk
in MiKTeX.
