I had a BibTeX entry that contained an ‘n’ with a tilde \~{n} in one of the author’s names. This was typeset as a non-breaking space by LaTeX because \~ represents a non-breaking space. I have no idea why author’s names in the bibliography are treated like this, however, when \~{n} produces the correct character in other BibTeX fields.
The solution to this problem is to put the old curly brackets around the offending sequence: {\~{n}}.
Many thanks!
I was struggling with a \l in an authors name. {\l} solved it.
This would never have occurred to me…
Hi MacTommy,
Thanks for leaving a comment — I’m glad to have helped.
I think it was trial and error mixed with a lot of googling that helped me solve it.
Cheers,
