BibTeX issues

[simon]

We should:

1. Add an option to export BibTeX as UTF-8, zotero.extensions.exportUnicodeBibTeX
2. Use Matthias's TeX entity list to improve the ASCII mappings when the pref is off (see ​http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1067/importing-of-bibtex-with-texencoded-characters/#Item_6)

When the pref is off, what do we do with the unmapped characters? Convert to question marks as we do currently?

[dstillman]

We probably should accept UTF-8-encoded BibTeX files, too, since it seems a number of popular programs have the option of exporting UTF-8.

(In [2013]) closes #749 - BibTeX issues - import/export of BibTex characters
Much more translation done now. Preference for direct UTF-8 export/import included.

(In [2023]) Addresses #749, BibTeX issues

• import UTF-8 by default (as far as I can tell, this is no worse than the previous behavior, which would probably have read all BibTeX files as ASCII)
• use only ascii characters in cite keys
• present BibTeX UTF-8 export option on export
• hide disabled export options, rather than graying them out, to avoid the indication that other formats will not be exported as UTF-8

Set character set to 'us-ascii' if not UTF-8 (avoid a problem with certain characters)

Updated BibTeX translator

[dstillman]

Due to its size, the attached BibTeX translator will not be pushed via repo in Zotero 1.0.* and must be installed manually from here. (New installations of 1.0.* will include the updated translator.)
