@InCollection and @Book not recognised?

[ouboub]

Hi
I am on Ubuntu 24.04 running TL 2023 and just cloned your repository.
I have two bibtex files I wanted to check
the first one just has one entry

@Book{christodoulou00A,
  author       = {Christodoulou, Demetrios},
  title        = {The action principle and partial differential
                  equations},
  publisher    = {Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ},
  year         = 2000,
  series       = {Annals of Mathematics Studies},
  volume       = 146,
  Doi          = {10.1515/9781400882687},
  Mrclass      = {58-02 (35A30 35Q60 37K05 58E30 58J45 70Sxx 78A25)},
  Mrnumber     = 1739321,
  Mrreviewer   = {James Isenberg},
  Pages        = 319,
  Url          = {https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400882687}
}

then
perl /usr/local/bin/bibcop.pl --fix bad-formated.bib

results in

I don't know what to do with @Book type of BibTeX entry

the other one is very large
perl /usr/local/bin/bibcop.pl --fix bibgraf.bib

results in

I don't know what to do with @InCollection type of BibTeX entry

is this a bug, or what do I miss

regards

@ouboub they should be @book and @inproceedings (all smalls)

A couple of remarks. - GNU emacs’ bibtex mode inserts ***@***.***`. - The error message does not spell out this detail. - The `.bib` files compile cleanly with both BibTeX and Biber (biblatex). So if you believe this is an error, could you point me to the relevant documentation, and raise the matter on the emacs mailing list?

@ouboub it's not an error, it's "bad style". Bibcop is not fixing errors, it enforces certain stylistic preferences. You can use both @Book and @book, but we believe that the latter looks prettier.

So bibcop does not even indicate syntax errors? As for the style, couldn't the message be more specific?

[yegor256]

@ouboub bibcop fails if a syntax error is found, you can try and see what it says

[yegor256]

@ouboub I agree, the message should be more specific. I'll fix it now.
