LaTeX to unicode cleanup action does not remove backslash in title subtitle and custom fields

See original GitHub issue

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

JabRef 5.6–2022-04-11–1c782b7 Windows 10 10.0 amd64 Java 17.0.2 JavaFX 18+12

Checked with the latest development build

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Before:

@Article{test1aBEFORE,
  title    = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
  subtitle = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
  url      = {https://ftp.agdsn.de/pub/mirrors/latex/dante/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf},
  abstract = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
  comment1 = {Special fields (Page 15, Table 1); Backslash was manually added},
  comment2 = {BEFORE using "LaTeX to Unicode" cleanup action},
  xyz      = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
}

After:

@Article{test1bAFTER,
  title    = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
  subtitle = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
  url      = {https://ftp.agdsn.de/pub/mirrors/latex/dante/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf},
  abstract = {%, $, \_, #, &},
  comment1 = {Special fields (Page 15, Table 1)},
  comment2 = {AFTER using "LaTeX to Unicode" cleanup action},
  xyz      = {\%, \$, \_, \#, \&},
}

Only characters within the abstract field do get converted.

I have not tested issuetitle, issuesubtitle and other similar fields, but could imagine it happens with them as well.

Works fine for me. Did you enable Latex2Unicode for all text fields grafik

I guess so 😅 I will make sure to limit the usage of this cleanup action to the URL field only.
