When does "mas" meaning "more" have an accent?

In Span!shD!ct it does not appear to do so; in all my other dictionaries it does. It does not appear to have an accent when meaning 'however'. Explanation please!

Welcome to the forum, Philsmile

To my knowledge, "más" meaning "more" always has an accent. Written without an accent, it would translate "but". I see what you mean and I believe there is an error in the Span¡shD!ct dictionary.

Someone will surely take care of this. Thanks for bringing it out.

When you use "más" to mean "more* it always carries the accent mark.
