Upgrade StorageBibtex Export Page Reference Bug
Bug: I noticed in my thesis recently that zotero was not exporting certain page references correctly.
Specifically, if the page reference was for instance "53–75", then the symbol "–" is not rendered in LaTeX.
Cause: The character "–" has the unicode value U+2013. It is distinct from "-" which has unicode U+002D. LaTeX and PDFLaTeX do not have out-of-the-box support for high unicode values. So while "53–75" does not render correctly, page references like "53-75" are fine.
Workaround: I put the following code in my preamble, which solved the issue:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{2013}{--}

noksagtIf you change the export character set from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1, then "–" will be transliterated to the LaTeX entity "\textendash".
