Anyway, I am having trouble with error correction. Here's what happens:

I open my bib. The error window pops up, with many warnings about quotation marks at "brace depth zero." OK, I have read that double quotation marks need to be replace by pairs of single quotation marks for Tex. So, I double click on an error line, and a second window opens showing the source code for the bib. I see the problem quotation marks. I copy the cite key, go to the database window, and find that item. I open the edit window, and replace the double quotes with pairs of single quotes. I save the file. I close the error window and re-open it. The same error is still reported for the same item.

This is repeatable for all of the errors, including ones not involving quotation marks. I have tried repeatedly saving the file, and quitting BibDesk and reopening it. The same list of errors is repeated, despite my having fixed them.

 Thanks,
 Ingrid

First of all: this is not true, you can fix errors and they will be fixed. In particular, when I replace double-quotes by single quotes, for me the warning disappears. So there's something else you're not telling us.

Oh, I now see what you mean. And no, the errors and warnings don't disappear, and they're not supposed to. The error window shows the errors/warnings that are raised when bibtex is parsed. That's all, no more, no less.In other words, it shows the errors in the input bibtex, not necessarily the current content.

Christiaan

Ok. Hmm. Then how do you know when you have new errors that need fixing, if old fixed errors remain in the list forever?

Ingrid

Try saving. If that works, you should be guaranteed to have no bibtex errors.
