hello,

I am trying to generate a bib file with "Biblio>Bibliography formatter" but the file produced cannot be compiled by bibtex (which was possible with the previous version of bookends)
Here is the produced code (not ok for compilation):

Code: Select all

@Misc{OMGUML03,
author = OMG, 
title = {2nd revised submission to OMG RFP ad/00-09-02 - Unified Modeling Language : Superstructure - version 2.0}, 
institution = Object Management Group, 
volume = ad/2003-01-02, 
pages = 
year = 2003, 
abstract = 
location = 
keywords = { }}

The previous (which is ok for compilation) was :

Code: Select all

@misc{OMGUML03,
author = {OMG}, 
title = {2nd revised submission to {OMG RFP} ad/00-09-02 - {U}nified {M}odeling {L}anguage : {S}uperstructure - version 2.0}, 
howpublished= {Object Management Group}, 
volume = {ad/2003-01-02}, 
year = {2003}}

Actually, two majors errors:
- { and } for each field disappeared in the new version
- blank fields appears which produces errors (e.g. "pages= " in this example)

how to solve this ? I didn't find anything in the config windows....

thanks !

Hi,

It sounds like you are using an old BibTeX format, which broke in a previous update. Please download the current BibTeX format from our ftp site and replace the old one (check you ~/Library/Application Support/Bookends/Custom Formats folder for it -- if it's there it wouldn't be updated automatically when you upgrade).

If you still have problems, contact tech support for help.
