Hi all,
Couldn't find the following in the group archive. I'm using the Windows
port with Natbib set to author-year style. I just discovered (the hard
way) that when I enter a citation in the form (author, year), I don't
get the comma between author in year. I dumped the file in LaTeX, and
sure enough LyX is writing
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}
with the empty fifth argument meaning no punctuation between author and
year.
Is this a known problem?
