[man-chi]

after installation of mdbook-bib, I have encountered fatal runtime error: stack overflow when trying to build mdbook.

bib file is an example as show below @BOOK{DUMMY:1, AUTHOR = "John Doe", TITLE = "The Book without Title", PUBLISHER = "Dummy Publisher", YEAR = "2100", }

in the markdown.md file, I just include the @@DUMMY:1 string but a fatal error is shown, please kindly help.

I am having the same issue. Did you find a solution?

The error comes from nom-bibtex. You can fix the problem by enclosing field values in {...}:

@book{DUMMY:1,
    AUTHOR = {"John Doe"},
    TITLE = {"The Book without Title"},
    PUBLISHER = {"Dummy Publisher"},
    YEAR = {"2100"},
}

~~According to the BibTex docs, quotes should also work. So this may be worth crating an issue in nom-bibtex.~~

Seems like the error is caused by mdbook-bib removing quotes, so braces are required here.

@man-chi Did the parentheses solve your problem with the references?
