Dois with < or > characters

Hi,

I'm having a problem with dois that include < or > characters.

If I just put them in raw they get printed as ?; if I surround them by $ signs obviously the doi in the Bibdesk can't be copied directly onto the doi site.

Is there a more elegant way of ensuring the doi gets printed out correctly rather than having to use math mode? Simple {} don't work.

Regards, George Nurser.

What do you mean by printed? Where and how?

Christiaan,

I mean the TeX Preview and rich text reference output options available after right clicking on the article in the Bibdesk .bib window. I have set Tex Preview to use the BibTeX style agufull08; so perhaps I need to somehow modify the FUNCTION {format.doi} in agufull08.bst to escape the > and <. Not sure how to do that.

Regards, George

This is more a bibtex question. Perhaps you may treat the DOI as a url, and use a \url command around it, with the appropriate package used.
