Hi Thomas,

Objections? Hurt feelings? Sentiments?
No hurt feelings, but I know that in my bib files, there are a couple of old entries that still have these weird composed characters. So I'm fine with upgrading, but it would be nice if this could fail gracefully, with a nice and informative error message...
Okay, here is a secret. When your bib fils is read, those magic accent placement commands are not used at all: \starttext \startbuffer[bib] @article{test, title = {\"Articl\`e \O n\k{e}}, author = {Th\^omas}, year = {2001}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \ctxlua{inspect(publications.datasets.default.luadata.test)} \placebtxrendering[method=dataset,pagestate=start] \stoptext They have magically disappeared. Thanks to the fact hat Alan and I spent quite a bit of time on brewing the magic potion when we redid the bib stuff. So, although we will keep the shortcuts you'd probably never noticed them being gone. Now the question is: what can we expect in old bib files that we {\em don't} handle.
