I didn't know latex2rtf wasn't generated for the main window anymore, so I was thinking this was a race problem in the code I wrote to fix Justin's other TeX problem! As Justin said, it doesn't appear to be a malformed BibTeX or TeX input. The number of entries is significant, in that it appears to be hitting a buffer limit in the latex2rtf parser. Turning on the standard error logging, I see bibpreview.tex:28 Error! Misplaced ' ' (Not found within 5000 chars) which comes from latex2rtf/parser.c. I vaguely recall that I ran across this when processing my dissertation and worked around it by increasing the buffer size in latex2rtf from 5K to 16K, but I'll see about a better fix. In the meantime, this is totally harmless, although admittedly annoying. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
