Problem parsing double quoted tokens

[SimonGreenhill]

In the following BibTeX file:

@phdthesis{Yang2011Lalo,
    author = {Yang, Cathryn},
    address = {Bundoora},
    language = {English},
    school = {La Trobe University},
    shorttitle = {Lalo regional varieties},
    title = {Lalo regional varieties: {Phylogeny}, dialectometry and sociolinguistics},
    type = {{PhD} dissertation},
    year = {2011}
}

... the field type gets parsed to PhD} dissertation (i.e. the first curly brace protecting the casing in 'PhD' gets eaten.

The culprit is this statement in bib_gather. I'm not quite sure what this regex is doing, so I don't want to fiddle with it to fix it.

Hi, thanks for your message.

I'll look into this, but it seems like this can be solved easily!

But be aware that the fix is currently only available in branch v1.1.2. To install this version of bib2df, run remotes::install_github("ropensci/bib2df@v1.1.2"). This version may not be stable yet, though.

Hi,

I think the problem is still remain when the bracket is in the end of the name field:

Here is a .bib file:

@Inproceedings{brugman04,
  Author = {Brugman, H. and Russel, A. and Nijmegen, X.},
  Booktitle = {LREC},
  Title = {Annotating {M}ulti-media/{M}ulti-modal {R}esources with {ELAN}},
  Year = {2004}
}

Here is the code:

bib2df("test.bib") %>% 
   unlist() %>% 
   na.omit() %>% 
   View()

Here is the result:

CATEGORY    INPROCEEDINGS
BIBTEXKEY   brugman04
AUTHOR1 Brugman, H.
AUTHOR2 Russel, A.
AUTHOR3 Nijmegen, X.
BOOKTITLE   LREC
TITLE   Annotating {M}ulti-media/{M}ulti-modal {R}esources with {ELAN
YEAR    2004

As you can see it should've been {ELAN}.

I'm using bib2df v. 1.1.1
