Can anyone explain how to get BibTeX to correctly parse a citation to an article in a book when the .bib file uses the crossref mechanism? For example, here is a minimal file:
@incollection{Vamvoukakis1980,
Author = {Nicolas Vamvoukakis},
Crossref = {Aubenque1980}, Pages = {253-269},
Title = {Les cat{\'e}gories aristot{\'e}liennes d'action et de passion vues par Simplicius},
Year = {1980}}
@book{Aubenque1980,
Address = {Paris},
Editor = {Pierre Aubenque},
Publisher = {Vrin},
Title = {Concepts et cat{\'e}gories dans la pens{\'e}e antique},
Year = {1980}}
Stefano,
The referenced work _may_ need to start at column 1, as does the citation.
If you are citing only a single chapter from a collection a direct reference (rather than a cross reference) is simpler and it does work. At least it does for me.
The BibTeXing document from February 8, 1988 shows the two entries as separate ones. That is, each begins in column 1. I have no idea if that is significant or not.
HTH,
Rich
