Re: latin1 characters in RIS entries not converted to UTF-8 by runbib when creating .bib.xml bibliography file

Allright, sorry for previous message... in the meantime, I've been
thinking of how it works, and checked... and apparently the issue is
that I was editing the RIS entries as latin-1, whereas
in /etc/refdb/refdbcrc, I have :
fromencoding UTF-8

So it seems my database records where containing latin-1 accentuations,
which would be generated as such in the UTF8 XML...

I updated the RIS entry to use UTF8 accents, and now I get everything
clean and compiling...

Maybe I should change my /etc/refdb/refdbcrc preferences, then (or see
how to have emacs RIS mode handle everything as UTF8 by default ?)

Sorry for bothering.

Best regards,
