pandoc-citeproc error when citation key includes "&" character #655

Closed samkimhis closed 7 years ago

samkimhis commented 7 years ago

Report ID: 8W66A3N2

I tried to export to BibTeX or BibLaTeX from Zotero library and use pandoc-citeproc. The problem was that one of my citation keys generated by Better BibTeX contained "&". When I removed "&" manually, the pandoc-citeproc error was gone. I think "&" should be rejected from the citation key to prevent this kind of error.

The submitted report only says "Zotero: 4.0.28.8, Better BibTeX: 1.6.95"; can you leave the checkbox in the first tab of the error submission dialog enabled? It submits information which I need.

Is there a particular reason you're still on Zotero 4.0.28.8?

Ah wait, the info I needed was in the references. You have your citekey format at the default [zotero], which has a lot of known problems. If you change it to pretty much anything else, or you post-filter it at least through [zotero:nopunct] or [zotero:alphanum], I think the problem will go away. But the [zotero] pattern is broken-by-design as it aims to replicate the standard Zotero citekey generation precisely.
