trackchange and citations

Question

Trackchange for latex on sourceforge seems to have a problem with citations.

\change{text 1 \cite{Fels\_81}pad1}{text2 \cite{Fels\_81} pad2}

creates a problem due to the brackets encountered. Is there a work around to this?

Answer 1

Try enclosing the \cite commands inside curly braces:

\change{text 1 {\cite{Fels\_81}}pad1}{text2 {\cite{Fels\_81}} pad2}

I would suggest you not to use underscores in the argument of \cite. I would use something like Fels-81 instead of Fels\_81; the latter produced some errors in the example I built to test the problem; of course, you'll have to change the keys used in your bibliographical entries accordingly.
