getbibtex's Issues

URLs with anchors get flagged by the LaTeX compiler.

I'm using this awesome service to create references in my Overleaf project, but if the URL contains an anchor (#) I get some error while compiling the document.

Multiple errors such as this one appear:

Illegal parameter number in definition of \abx@field@howpublished.

 
‪./output.bbl, 583‬
<to be read again> 
                   l
l.583     \endentry
                   
You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things
are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.

Workaround: escaping the anchor (#) with an inverted slash () works for me. So https://blabla.example/test#anchor must become https://blabla.example/test\#anchor.

It would be nice that the software were in charge of doing this to avoid manual changes.

Thank you!

add escaping of underscores

Hi there, awesome project
i have discovered a bug.
If the title of the link contain a underscore it still present in the final output.
my latex environment thought i wanted to use math mode
in my bib. i realy dont know my way around frontend so sorry i cant do it myself.
i fixed it by just escaping the underscore with a backslash manually.
I would think underscores arent the only chars that behave that way but i cant test it
thank you for your time.

Should it put a backslash in front of "&" and "$" in a title?

This tool is really great! But I noticed a little thing. When I generated a citation of https://hedera.com/blog/analysis-remediation-of-the-precompile-attack-on-the-hedera-network, the result was:

@misc{hederaAnalysisRemediation,
	author = {},
	title = {{A}nalysis & {R}emediation of the {P}recompile {A}ttack on the… | {H}edera --- hedera.com},
	howpublished = {\url{https://hedera.com/blog/analysis-remediation-of-the-precompile-attack-on-the-hedera-network}},
	year = {},
	note = {[Accessed 15-10-2023]},
}

The Overleaf compiler argued that:

You have placed an alignment tab character '&' in the wrong place. If you want to align something, you must write it inside an align environment such as \begin{align} … \end{align}, \begin{tabular} … \end{tabular}, etc. If you want to write an ampersand '&' in text, you must write & instead.

After I change it to \&, it's fine now.

Link to the source repo from the app

It looks like you've done a from scratch react rewrite of my thing, which you do reference in your readme, but someone told me today they thought this was a rip off of my thing.

Maybe you should add a link to the sources from the published app so it's easy to see that it's a different thing and avoid confusion?

I added a link to your project in the README of mine (https://github.com/irl/bibwiki), as I've not updated mine in forever and it's cool to see different approaches to the same problem.
