I seem to have turned up a bug when using theapa.sty and theapa.bst
(I don't know which is responsible).
I enclose two TINY files which isolate this bug: bugdemo.tex and
bugdemo.bst
What goes wrong:
You start by saying "latex bugdemo.tex" and "bibtex bugdemo" and
all is well.
Now when you say "latex bugdemo.tex" this appears on screen:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.7 \newblock \btr
, The National Population and Family Development Board, Kuala
?
I grepped for \btr in theapa* and was surprised to see it defined
nowhere. Who is inserting it? I find that changing \btr to \BTR
in bugdemo.bbl corrects the problem (so painful, I don't even call it
a workaround).
Version information: both theapa.sty and theapa.bst are v2.5, April 92.
Thanks,
-ans.
