### Accents in bibliographies

BibTeX not only has a tendency (by default) to mess about with the case of letters in your bibliography, also makes a hash of accent commands: “`ma\~nana`” comes out as “ma nana” (!). The solution is similar: enclose the troublesome sequence in braces, as “`{``\~n``}`”, in this example.
