\citeshorthand error #58

Closed Nhapsie closed 7 years ago

Nhapsie commented 7 years ago

Biber (2.6 with BibLaTeX 3.5) produces a warning for \citeshorthand "SBL" within the example @conferencepaper{niditch:1994, from biblatex-sbl-test (page 36 of version Jan 11, 2017). There is no "SBL" output in the List of Abbreviation, at least on my end. I'm using the latest master files.

I can't reproduce this.

Can you post the output (as in the terminal output, not the PDF) when you run pdflatex on this MWE:

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=sbl]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-sbl.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{niditch:1994}
\printbiblist{abbreviations}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Don't forget you will need to run pdflatex, biber, pdflatex, biber, pdflatex to get the final output because of the cite within the cite.

Thank you, it worked. As an aside, I'm missing the total range of pages for Niditch in your example on page 36. It affects the use of pagination.

dcpurton commented 7 years ago

Hi @Nhapsie, can I check what you mean here? There is no pages field in the niditch entry, so no total page range is printed. This matches the handbook, and I wouldn't expect a total page range to be given for an unpublished conference paper.

And what do you mean by use of pagination?

Nhapsie commented 7 years ago

Thanks for your reply, all is well. I had to remove pages = ... from my bib file as @conferencepaper does not take pages. Makes sense because it is unpublished, so pages go in the running text. Disregard "pagination"
