Hi,
I was going to convert my bibtex file into an org-mode file.
I receive an error message for conference entries.
E.g.
I can read in by org-bibtex-read
@CONFERENCE{foo11,
author = {foo, A. and faa, B},
title = {This is the title},
booktitle = {Proceeding of the 5th Org-mode conference},
year = {2011},
month = Jul,
day = {4--5},
conference_name = {org-mode V},
keywords = {published},
location = {Somewhere, org-land},
presentation = {Oral}
}
However, org-bibtex-write results in the following output
*
and a debug error-log [1]:
By changing the bibtex type to e.g., INPROCEEDINGS the import works correct.
I tried to debug this but I can't see why it works for inproceedings
and not for conference.
As a side note, I noticed that the importer is rather quite about
errors. If I try to import an mal-formated BibTeX entry I often
receive an result for which some keyword-entries are simply missing.
E.g. try
@INPROCEEDINGS{foo11,
author = {foo, A. and faa, B},
title = {This is the title},
booktitle = {Proceeding of the 5th Org-mode conference},
year = {2011},
month = Jul,
day = (4--5),
conference_name = {org-mode V},
keywords = {published},
location = {Somewhere, org-land},
presentation = {Oral}
}
note the round instead of curl brackets around day. An import will
skip silently everything behind the month line.
Wouldn't it make more sens to issue a warning whenever the parser has
trouble to read something? I noticed that the beamer.el from
beamer-mode is involved in parsing. Thus, I have no idea whether
org-mode is capable to notice such a problem. You might argue that
BibTeX is specifies the correct syntax very well, but many other tools
export and import to BibTeX too and an error in these programs might
still allow them to import nd export entries with wrong syntax, a
import in org-mode however, could result finally in fatal data loose.
Thus, I vote for an error or warning message whenever there is
something which requires human attentions.
As for now, I have to carefully check, that all entries moved into the
org-mode file, which is a bit tiring and error prone.
All the best
Torsten

I think the problem is in the reading: after org-bibtex-read,
*org-bibtex-entries* is still nil. I presume that's why
org-bibtex-write fails.

... and after org-bibtex-read in this case, *org-bibtex-entries* is not
nil.
org-bibtex-read calls bibtex-parse-entry and that one returns nil
on the conference entry above: are you sure it's a legal bibtex type?
Or maybe bibtex-parse-entry just does not know about it and needs
fixing.

Yes it seems to be a problem within the bibtex-mode of emacs. I will try
to send this upstream.
However, I just learned that there is no difference between CONFERENCE

A search and replace in my BibTeX file should solve the problem for now.
Thanks for looking into it
