Trouble importing bibliography from Zotero

Post by IainMurdo »

Hi all,

I'm currently working on porting over my master's dissertation (which is currently in a nascent state) into LaTex and am trying to import my citations over. I've been using Zotero as my reference manager and it has a capacity to make a BibTeX/BibLaTeX file from the list in the file, which I've called My_Bib for ease of use. I've even trimmed down the output so it's only got those bibitems which I'm currently going to be putting into the dissertation.

However, when I try to compile the LaTex file with either a \cite{} command with one of the bibid's from My_Bib or I put \bibliography{My_Bib} into the document, I get the error message "TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size = 10000]. \bibliography{My_Bib}".

What's going on and what should I try and do to solve it? I know it can't be just that I'm doing BibTeX incorrectly because it doesn't do this when I try using xampl.bib, so it must specifically be a problem with the file imported from Zotero.
