Re: Help with inserting APA citations

2012-03-26 Thread stefano franchi

Hmm,

I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:

1. go over your bib file and change all the strange characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
fakes. For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}

2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).


To confirm the problem:

1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a  text
editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.

2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
and particularly for the string  Guarantee Program in India Those
two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
understand and renders as single-byte characters


If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
you troubles, I may be able to help more.

Cheers,

Stefano

Well,

I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?

You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,
just downloaded from

in Andhra Pradesh is indicative of program capture in Andhra Pradesh

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about

may be an encoding issue. Sorry I cannot help more, but I've never

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

2012-03-26 Thread stefano franchi

Hmm,

I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:

1. go over your bib file and change all the strange characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
fakes. For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}

2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).


To confirm the problem:

1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a  text
editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.

2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
and particularly for the string  Guarantee Program in India Those
two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
understand and renders as single-byte characters


If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
you troubles, I may be able to help more.

Well,

I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?


Cheers,

Stefano

You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,
just downloaded from

Guarantee Program (NREGP). In state level analysis this pattern

positive relationship. This paper examines whether this sign reversal
in Andhra Pradesh is indicative of program capture in Andhra Pradesh
and better targeting in Rajasthan. We compare land inequality,
political interference, and geographical remoteness across the two
states and conclude that program capture may be an issue in Andhra
Pradesh, largely because of these reasons. We also find evidence of
complementarity between NREGP and the Public Distribution System

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about

actions you originally took. I think something went wrong there. It
may be an encoding issue. Sorry I cannot help more, but I've never

Hmm,

I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:

1. go over your bib file and change all the "strange" characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
"fakes". For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}

2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).

To confirm the problem:

1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

2012-03-26 Thread stefano franchi

Well,

I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?


Cheers,

Stefano

Find below.
Thanks Stefano.
You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from
Mendeley. I guess the encoding did not go well. I would rather switch the
reference manager than redo all references because the database is huge. I
hope the biblatex+biber combination will help

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,
just downloaded from
http://ideas.repec.org/p/pas/asarcc/2008-07.html#biblio

@TechReport{RePEc:pas:asarcc:2008-07,
  author={Raghbendra Jha and Sambit Bhattacharyya and Raghav Gaiha and
Shylashri Shankar},
  title={Capture of Anti-Poverty Programs: An Analysis of the National
Rural Employment Guarantee Program in India},
  year=2008,
  month= ,
  institution={Australian National University, Australia South Asia
Research Centre},
  type={ASARC Working Papers},
  url={http://ideas.repec.org/p/pas/asarcc/2008-07.html},
  number={2008-07},
  abstract={Using pooled household level data for the Indian states of
Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh we find that the size of landholdings is
a negative predictor of participation in the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Program (NREGP). In state level analysis this pattern
survives in Rajasthan but reverses in Andhra Pradesh where we notice a
positive relationship. This paper examines whether this sign reversal
in Andhra Pradesh is indicative of program capture in Andhra Pradesh
and better targeting in Rajasthan. We compare land inequality,
political interference, and geographical remoteness across the two
states and conclude that program capture may be an issue in Andhra
Pradesh, largely because of these reasons. We also find evidence of
complementarity between NREGP and the Public Distribution System
(PDS).},
  keywords={Capture; Poverty; India}
}

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about
unicode, etcetera. Just go back to Mendeley and look into the export
actions you originally took. I think something went wrong there. It
may be an encoding issue. Sorry I cannot help more, but I've never
used mendeley.

Cheers,

Stefano
