Document Classes ⇒ Bibliography problem with emspublic.cls

[bkarpuz]

Dear Friends,

I am having problems with the bibliography section of my paper which uses the class file http://www.icms.org.uk/downloads/pems/EMSpublic.cls.
I use the following code for a reference item:

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{itemkey1} Author.
\newblock Article Title.
\newblock \emph{Journal Name}, vol.~x, no.~x, pp.~x--x, (Year).
\end{thebibliography}

And the compiler returns the following error message:

! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.831 \bibitem{itemkey1}
Author.

I need help for correcting this.
Thanks.

The misbehaviour comes from a redefinition of the thebibliography environment within the used class file. This new environment doesn't accept the former mandatory argument of the original version to determine the label width. Just drop this argument and it will work.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{emspublic}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{thebibliography}
    \bibitem{itemkey1} Author.
      \newblock Article Title.
      \newblock \emph{Journal Name}, vol.~x, no.~x, pp.~x--x, (Year).
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

Code: Select all

\documentclass{emspublic}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{thebibliography}
    \bibitem{itemkey1} Author.
      \newblock Article Title.
      \newblock \emph{Journal Name}, vol.~x, no.~x, pp.~x--x, (Year).
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
