Hello,

does anyone else use the bibliography software Bibliographix 8?
It creates temporary "keys" for each source (in the form of [=238 - Ehring 2008 Characteristics of e...=]) that you place in your text where you want to cite the source. Later, when you want Bibliographix to generate the list of references, it reads the .lyx file and searches the document for the keys which it then replaces with formatted sources (and also creates a separate .tex file containing all references). The document with the replaced keys is saved as a new .lyx file.

My problem is that for a small percentage of my sources not only the keys but also some of the text around them (one or multiple words) gets deleted. Those keys also just get deleted and not replaced with the formatted source. Of my >300 sources in the document this concerns more than 15 sources in different places. Of course, I can correct them manually but that takes time and I might overlook something. There must be something special about the affected keys themselves or their positions in the document but I don't know what.

I already wrote the Bibliographix people but they didn't have a solution for me, just the suggestion to view the LyX source code for "Bx" functional characters which may be causing the problem. But I don't know what those are.

When I gave the affected keys a color the text around them didn't get deleted anymore but the keys still weren't replaced, just removed.

Does anyone have an idea what may be causing the problem?

Thanks,
Peter
