I am new to org-mode and I am learning to use it to replace markdown for academic writing.
M-x org-ref
gave me this error: org-ref "Unbalanced parentheses", 20306, 18248 error
What should I do about it?
The error seems to have something to do with my .bib
file.
It works with one .bib
file, after validation, though not completely. But fails in another.
The same error occurs when trying to validate that .bib
file with M-x bibtex-validate
under bibtex-mode
.
Both files have been generated by better-bibtex
in Zotero.
