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

Hi Olivier,

the latest prerelease and the current SVN version use UTF-8 as the default
throughout (input/storage/output). On the long run you'll be better off if you
set up your editor to use UTF-8 as well. I've got this in my .emacs:

;; xml files, planner files, as well as files with "utf8" somewhere
;; in the path are opened as Unicode
(setq file-coding-system-alist
      (append (list
	       (cons "\\.xml$" 'utf-8)
	       (cons "utf8" 'utf-8)
	       (cons "Plans" 'utf-8))
	      file-coding-system-alist))

This covers risx files as long as they use the suffix ".xml", and RIS files as
long as you put "utf8" somewhere in the filename, like in "test.utf8.ris".

regards,
Markus
