I have attached the files:
test.lyx and test.bib
When run they give the following error message:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.2)
The top-level auxiliary file: test.aux
White space in argument---line 2 of file test.aux
: \citation{a
: b}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
The style file: plain.bst
I found no cite keys---while reading file test.aux
Database file #1: test.bib
I was expecting a `,' or a `}'---line 1 of file test.bib
: @book{a
: b,
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
(There were 3 error messages)
Hope it helps,
