Cannot \printbibliography in Biblatex

Post by ronank »

I hope I'm posting this query in the correct forum. I'm using Biblatex for an academic paper, and I cannot use the \printbibliography command to include the bibliography at the end. The error message is 'Missing $ inserted'. I think the problem is caused by URLs containing math characters in the bibliographic references, but I am not very certain. Can anyone help me fix this?

Thanks,

Rónán

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

How shall anybody be able to tell you without a minimal example [1]? Provide some useful information. Descriptions alone are not very helpful.

I figured it out. There was an incorrect accent in the BibTeX file; once I fixed that, the problem went away. The error message wasn't very clear, which was why I was confused. It's all OK now.

Thanks,
