Hi!
Not sure exactly when it began (probably starting with Org 9.7.30), but I'm no
longer able to export my Org files to PDF files (via LaTeX) if they contain
references and if I'm using the CSL backend. More precisely, on a minimal
reproducible example hosted here:
https://github.com/frederic-santos/mwe-citeproc, I'm getting:
```
citeproc-proc--parse-csl-var-val: Wrong type argument: listp, "A robust tangent
"
```
I have experienced a similar error recently. The culprit is in the
.bib file, namely this line:
title = {A Robust Tangent {{PCA}} via Shape Restoration for Shape
Variability Analysis},
The error happens when you force capitalisation with braces {}. Try
this instead:
title = {A Robust Tangent PCA via Shape Restoration for Shape Variability
Analysis},
I predict the error vanishes.
As a sidenote, I would appreciate it if errors in parsing the .bib
file would print the citation key and a message like “cannot parse
entry” instead of messages like this, because this kind of message is
rather opaque to the user.
