BTW, when you are embedding this page into your homepage then this problem might go away all by itself, since you are probably specifying the character coding as utf-8 in your homepage already. This is set in the head of the html. BibBase pages don't have a head, so that they can be embedded easily. But this headlessness also means that I can't set the encoding in the bibbase page itself.

Eliseo: it looks fine to me (see screenshot below). What most probably is happening is that you are nor using unicode (utf-8) as your character encoding in your browser, or the font you are using as your default fault in your browser simply doesn't support utf-8.
In Chrome you can change the font and encoding in the advanced settings:

Stéphane, thanks for the pointer and the clarification. That is indeed too bad that Mendeley treats some pdfs as copyrighted when in fact they are not.
You are very welcome. Thanks for being an early adopter despite the hick-ups.
Hi Ricky,
I don't know what the problem was, but I cleared the cache and now it seems to be back to normal. Please verify that it looks OK.
One thing you can try if it happens again is to touch/edit your bib file in order to enforce a cache refresh. But if it happens, please still let me know. Maybe it's indicative of a different problem I'm not aware of. You are the first user to report this problem though.

Oleg, bibbase turns author names into links for all those authors who also use bibbase. I've noticed on your page that some of your coauthors who get linked don't actually use bibbase, but that bibbase currently incorrectly guesses the owners of some pages they link to. I'll look into that because it shouldn't happen.
More generally though it is not possible to suppress those links. If and when it is working correctly, I consider it a feature that bibbase automatically keeps track of the current page of your coauthors. Many authors like to keep a list of their collaborators and this is a feature that offers that with no effort on the author's side.

Stephane,
This seems to be a problem that is limited to some of your papers. I've checked some of the other BibBase-Mendeley users, and their papers download just fine.
Then I started checking papers on your page and noticed that at least this one does download fine:
Procrustean co-inertia analysis for the linking of multivariate data sets. Dray, S.; Chessel, D.; and Thioulouse, J. Ecoscience, 10(1):110-119. 2003.
Is there anything different about this paper from the others in terms of permissions or so? Did you perhaps change any settings in Mendeley recently?
The download URL starts with ../download/public, so it doesn't sound like the download should be restricted in general.

Hi Stephane,
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll investigate this further, but yes, on first sight it seems that they have changed the permissions where logged in users can only download pdfs in their library. But I can't say for sure. Elsevier has been getting more aggressive about sueing copyright violators recently. Maybe this has something to do with that (Elsevier bought Mendeley not too long ago).
If you are at all interested in alternatives to Mendeley, I recommend Zotero. It's API is a lot nicer and more reliable and the integration with BibBase works like a charm.

It sounds like a bug, but I guess this is really a feature request, right? If so, I'm happy to still look into that. Can you point me to some documentation of that CoinS you are mentioning? Is that a special markup of sorts?
