Good afternoon MacKensie,

What I don't understand, it's that when I export my Refworks file in bibtex
format into Zotero, it looks fine, the diacritics are ok. And when I export
to citeline (I've installed the Zotz plugin), the diacritics are
transformed in ??? or !!! characters, grrrrr.... ;-)
Maybe the Zotero guys could help on this matter ? What do you think ?
