How to insert slashed o “ø” into an author's name in my bibliography












53















In my bibliography I have a reference to an author with a Danish name: Nørregaard.
The problem is that to do the slashed o I need to type o. However, I can't do this Norregaard and if I do this No rregaard then I get a space in the name. How do I solve this problem?

    You don't get a space if you type No rregard.

    With the right input encoding you should be able to insert »ø« directly.

When typing the name in the text, No rregard will not leave any space in the output, as spaces after control sequences (with name consisting of letters) are ignored.



However, in .bib file the question is slightly different, as you want to use the name also for collation. The BibTeX manual recommends



author = {N{o}rregard, X.}


because in this way the entire combination {o} would be regarded simply as an "o". The typeset text will not have font dependent kerning between "N" and "ø" and between "ø" and "r". If you're using biblatex, then Nørregard is fine (as long as you use an input encoding where ø is present).

  • @Masi Why should you want ø in math mode? And for getting ø (with o) in text mode no package is needed.

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. Thank you for your answer.
