** Expected behavior Given a buffer with - bibtex-mode enabled, - and a BibTeX entry which has a file field that in turn has as value a path that has a dollar sign ~/path/to/file $ name.ext~, bibtex-mode correctly highlights this entry and following BibTeX entries in the buffer considering that the file field is a verbatim field (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/1895#issuecomment-905572487). ** Actual behavior Given a buffer with - bibtex-mode enabled, - and a BibTeX entry which has as value for file field a path that has dollar sign ~/path/to/file $ name.ext~ bibtex-mode doesn't recognizes that the dollar sign is verbatim for the file field, leading to wrong highlighting. [emacs-bibtex-mode-dollar-sign.png] ** Reproduce 1. Open buffer with bibtex-mode enabled 2. Add to the buffer the following content #+begin_src bibtex @book{test-2021-test, title = {Test}, author = {{Test}}, year = {2021}, f file = {/tmp/test \$ test.epub} } @book{test-2021-test, title = {Test}, author = {{Test}}, year = {2021}, file = {/tmp/test $ test.epub} } @book{test-2021-test, title = {Test}, author = {{Test}}, year = {2021}, file = {/tmp/test $ test.epub} } #+end_src See that in the first entry the escaped dollar sign leads to correct highlight, but in the second entry the unescaped dollar sign leads to wrong highlighting.
