Setting maxbibnames lets crash #5

Closed donludovico closed 2 years ago

Hi,

when setting the option maxbibnames, which biblatex-lncs sets to 99, to small values (e.g. 3), I do get an "undefined control sequence" error message.

Way to reproduce:

  1. Take biblatex-lncs-test.tex from repository
  2. add biblatex option maxbibnames=3,
  3. compile

Error Message: Undefined Control sequence \addcomma \nbspace \bibstring [\emph ]{andothers}: -> i.e. \nbspace is not known.

This error refers to 'lncs.bbx' (master) at line 138 {\ifmorenames{\addcomma\nbspace\bibstring[\emph]{andothers}:}}%

Unfortunately,I have no clue why. However, Google has almost no search results on "\nbspace". Could one use ~ (as non-breaking space - my guess) instead?

I think this should also turn up, if maxnames is set as this internally sets maxbibnames, which influences \ifmorenames.

Regards Stephan

Thanks for reporting this bug. Coincidentally, I hit exactly that bug a few days ago but forgot to push the bugfix. You are right, the nbspace macro was an issue. Another issue is that one of the ifmorenames calls was missing an else branch. Both are fixed now. I will submit to CTAN soon.

Thank you for that quick response!
