This problem MIGHT BE SOLVED. I cross my fingers! I tried to analyze what happens. The following is seen when typesetting [campbell:92] with a crosslink to [crypto92]:
> Parameter <campbell:92> on bibgetvard\pbd:campbell:92 > ------ crossref crypto92 -------- CALLED FROM \bib@crossref#1 > Parameter <campbell:92> on bibgetvart\pbd:campbell:92 > ------ authoretallimit -------- > ------ authoretaldisplay -------- > ------ firstnamesep -------- > ------ lastnamesep -------- > ------ firstnamesep -------- > ------ | | -------- NOTE THIS COMES FROM \bibinsertcrossref#1#2#3 > >>> all 3 are empty > ------ left -------- > Parameter <> on bibgetvard\pbd: > ------ \writestatus {ERROR}{Parameter <> on bibgetvart\pbd:}\pbd: \plussix > -------- > Parameter <> on bibgetvart\pbd: ! Missing \endcsname inserted. I can see that \bibinsertcrossref gets the proper reference because the defined variable is: @@pb@crossref=crypto92 Experimenting on \bibinsertcrossref (inside \unprotect-\protect): Redefine \def\bibinsertcrossref#1#2#3{\cite[crypto92]} CITE WORKS! But redefine: \def\bibinsertcrossref#1#2#3{\cite[\@@pb@crossref]} CITE GIVES AN ERROR The redefine: \def\bibinsertcrossref#1#2#3{\edef\tmp{\@@pb@crossref}\cite[\tmp]} CITE WORKS Therefore I propose to change the definition of \bibinsertcrossref to: \def\bibinsertcrossref#1#2#3{\bibdoifelse\@@pb@crossref{\edef\tmp{\@@pb@crossref}#1\cite[\tmp]#2}{#3}} Hans van der Meer On 27 sep. 2011, at 15:07, Stefan Müller wrote: > On 27.09.2011 14:56, Taco Hoekwater wrote: >> On 09/27/2011 02:51 PM, Meer, H. van der wrote: >>> My best guess now is the description of the >>> FUNCTION {format.crossref} >>> { "" "\crossref" crossref do.out >>> } >>> entry on the .bst file.
