Problem with Bibtex, breaks pdf generation

Post by xar »

Hello,

i have build my bibtex file with Zotero 2.1 beta 2 and used it in my Lyx document. But i have one entry which breaks the Pdf generating process, but i dont know why. There are no bad chars. The Bibtex file is simple ascii, no utf-8. In the attached Bibtex is a working (mahlmann) and the broken entry (richardson). Can someone find out what is “different”?

Error Message is:
! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
}
l.24 \end{thebibliography}

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the <inserted text> above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Code: Select all

%% LyX 1.6.7 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
\cite{mahlmann_peer--peer-netzwerke:_2007}

\cite{richardson_h.264_2003}

\bibliographystyle{alphadin}
\bibliography{wikimediaBlog}

\end{document}

Edit: hilf dir selbst. Ok, i have a solution. And yes it is not in any way related to Lyx, maybe an Moderator move this to a better place.

Although the bibtex locks ok there was an error in the generated .bbl file.

Code: Select all

author = {I. {E.G} Richardson},
was translated to

Code: Select all

\textsc{Richardson}, I.~{:
which is clearly missing a bracket.

changing the bibtex to

Code: Select all

author = {I. E. G. Richardson},
works. :D
